It's unfortunate that the FAA runs on tombstone regulation, but right now, we have a chance to have a voice if WE have the 'stones. I have contacted Mr. O'brien (have not heard back yet), but I AM willing to make a statement.
This boat we are all in is called Aviation, and it's taking on water. Grab a bucket and bail, or else don't be surprised when you drown!
Well said and agreed. I would advise anyone who talks to avoid personal attacks such as CEO Chokesondik won't be happy until a plane full of passengers are killed or even naming the airline such as I work for the industry's most dangerous airline; Flybynite Airways nicknamed "F'n'A". '
My humble advise is to look around the industry, and focus on what regs or system problem need to be changed in order to produce a safer product such as changes in the FT/DT rules and better pay. Explain the time and expense of training coupled with the fact we're all one medical away from being unemployed without even a kiss goodbye.
