As i said if you arent happy in the industry then get out. No sense in acting like some little kid about it, you cant change it thats just the way it is.


The demand for pilots has went through the roof in the past 20 or so years. 340 million people in the USA and only 800k pilots...thats less that 0.5% of the population, With that little group and the big demand of airtravel and the addition of new airlines and planes there are gonna be people like myself hired that had less experiance than you did when you were hired.

Bad news for the older ones but the minimums will keep going down slowly until the FAA steps in and regulates it which will eventually happen. But that just means the industry is growing.
