Bottom line is we need to keep the pressure on. I had the idea today to create a website about our profession. This will be nothing but facts backed up by multiple references where everyone including passengers and media can go to learn about our profession directly from us.

This would not be a forum! Just a simple fact sheet about the day to day lives of regional airline pilots created by regional airline pilots. Probably a small group would have editing control of the site. All information would need to be properly vetted and screened. Facts can be submitted with references and the group running the sited will research and vet the fact before it is posted.

Ideas for facts:
wage comparisons
education cost & comparisons
working rule comparisons
fatigue and rest rules

All this info is accessable already but I'm not aware of one place people can easily go and get the facts from us. We all know how reporting misses the point sometimes so this could be a way, as a coalition of pilots, to tell the masses and media what's going on directly from us.

What do you think? Is it workable?
