I still wonder how the single pilot is going to work. Some smaller operators can do single pilot I think it's 19 pax max after that your required to have two people in the cockpit. due to German wings. so who is the other person in the cockpit? Radio operator? Flight Engineer? Mechanic? is it just a dog that barks at you if to press the wrong buttons? Given the limited training to become a pilot It doesn't make sense to put someone else in that seat. With that said over a long enough time line the pilot positions go from two to one to none. We need to cling to our jobs like real-estate agents Far longer than any logical use case

NASA has been working on this for over a decade. Basically an overpowered dispatcher controls the flight and the single pilot is there for emergencies and contingencies.

I’m noticing a distinct trend of the people I fly with. People are starting to worry more about the company’s long term viability than about the contract. Reality eventually hits.

Lol. My man. Look at our quarterly “earnings” release. The NMB is gonna look at the company’s revenue generating ability (or lack thereof) and laugh at the idea that F9 is somehow supposed to pay legacy rates.

from negotiating Committee
The next negotiating session is planned for September 2-4. It is our firm expectation that management will respond in kind, showing the same level of seriousness and commitment to moving these negotiations forward.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hope your ready for disappointment!
