IF ALL PROFESSIONAL PILOTS WORKED AS A TEAM THE FLIGHT LEVELS WOULD BE ABSENT OF ACTIVITY EVERY TIME A CEO THREATENED TO CUT YOUR PAY.
OK, I'm an outsider....just a stupid M.D. ....but I'm passionate about the airline industry returning respect to where it counts the most....
IN THE COCKPIT.
But in order for that to happen a new motto must be indoctrinated...
NO PILOT, NO TAKEOFF.....
accompanied by a MASS-MEDIA dissemination of facts....namely that YOUR FAMILY IN THE BACK OF AN AIRLINER DOES NOT WANT IT'S FATE IN THE HANDS OF A LOW TIME PILOT WHO WAS HIRED SIMPLY BECAUSE SAID LOW TIME PILOT WAS WILLING TO TAKE THE JOB, AND SAID JOB WAS OFFERED BY A COMPANY THAT KNOWS SAID LOW TIME PILOTS WILL WORK FOR NEARLY-NOTHING IN ORDER TO FLY A SHINY TUBE THAT BURNS KEROSENE.
uhhhh....all of you pay union dues....
so why isnt your union being proactive, educating the people that can MAKE A DIFFERENCE with their opinion, namely,
THE FLYING PUBLIC???????
