I feel I need to bring up another point. I agree with your previous post, and most of us didnt fully understand what part managment, or a poorly negotiated CBA can play in lowering things, when we entered the industry. Most of us thought this was normal, till we were around awhile. Market or economics created a beast of a hiring boom, people were swept up with lower mins. That does not mean everyone on that wave is incapable of being a sucessful, competant 121 pilot. I happen to know the young lady you are reffering to, and I will say she is a very competent pilot. I remember when she was an instrument student back in 2005, and you couldnt find a more dedicated , hard working student. I remember her spending hours after time with her flight instructor was up, studying, and flying procedures on the sim. I honestly remembing thinking if all students were that dedicated, flight instuctors would have an easy job. I will also say that shortly after she became a captain, she was tested by fire in a real serious emergancy, and you havnt heard this story because she did what a captain is supposed to do, along with her crew, they handled it, and got the plane safely on the ground, resulting in a non event. I know some things do need to change in this industry, but dont assume all lo time pilots, are not serious about what they do, or are incompetent. There are those of us at all regionals, who entered with lo time who strive every day to be the best we can be regardless of the size plane we fly, or frankly how we are treated. I still love being a pilot. Working for an airline, not so much. Hopefuly we can see some positive things change, just dont believe that TT as a number determines the pilots professionalism, or the outcome of an emergancy.
