Yep. They got us now. Never once do we pilots ever get any stall training. Lets freak out the public more and tell them that regional pilots are as about experienced in flying as a waiter or school teacher. Opps, b!tch beat me to it..........
"We all know that low pay attracts less-experienced workers, from table servers to schoolteachers."
Well, apparently he didn't know the emergency procedures to prevent the aircraft from stalling. If he did, well we probably wouldn't be having this discussion.
As far as pay, it's hard to argue the fact that less pay attracts less experience. In the past, people were willing to look past that with the regionals, as they were merely a stepping stone to bigger, better things. That future has become much less certain. All we have to do is look at what's going on with Republic.
