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???????
1) Make it harder to gain access to ANY airliner cockpit.
2) Limit access....make it impossible for a shmoe like me to enter an airliner cockpit....I shouldnt be able to pay thirty-large to a flight school that guarantees me a shot at the cockpit.
Greatness does not evolve by offering a spot to EVERYONE.
3)
SO, YOU'VE GOT RICH PARENTS THAT WILL PAY FOR YOUR CERTIFICATES??? .....SORRY. THAT ISNT GOOD ENOUGH. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REAPPLY WHEN YOU CAN FLY AN ILS IN A 737 INVERTED.
