Anyway, I have no solution, unfortunately, on how we can get young pilots not to take these dangerously awful jobs just to build the time. Any thoughts?
Correct, entirely agree with you..... Some regional pilots don't care how much they make, or what over-time pay is...... They don't care about that because. " I'll be moving on, so who cares"..... That was my mentallity when I was at the regionals, I figure soon I'd get a kick ass corporate job, maybe flying a G-V or a Global Express, and leave the regional life behind me, so who cares what they pay me. I SCREWED UP, definetly the wrong attitude...... I didn't do myself or others any favors. I'm the first to admit I was part of the problem
