1. Why don't you guys try to get all the jets at mainline?
2. Refuse to hire RJ pilots?
3. Start hiring T-Prop and 135 guys instead of all the former 250 hour RJ wonder wings?
4. Require 1,000 hours of PIC time in airplanes as a CFI or 135 single pilot? (This should make the RJ operators force pay up to attract more experienced pilots meaning they couldnt just out cheap the majors. Nobody would want to run straight to an RJ if you couldnt go to the majors? It might put things in perspective, maybe?)
Maybe these ideas wouldn't work but I just wanna know what you all think.
Yes, they do.
1. That ship sailed a looong time ago. Nothing is impossible but thats pretty close.
2. Pilots don't hire pilots, management does.
3. See above.
4. This idea might be plausible in theory because manangement only acts when there is a cost benefit (except when it comes to their bonuses). But back to the point, this would only work if everyone did it and that wouldn't happen.
