Sullenburger Steps up to the Plate for Pilots
 

Sullenburger apparently did what many desired:

He used the spotlight as an opportunity to increase public awareness of the declining incentives to be a professional pilot.

Below is a link I was directed to from an AOPA email.

Great article, Thanks for posting it.

Funny how the ATA had no comment.

It is the truth and we as a profession need to limit people's entry to this job. We can start by not allowing a MPL (Multi-pilot license) to be issued in this country.

But there's a "pilot shortage".

Whats a Multi Pilots license?

AB-Intio type of training, basically rhe final nail in the coffin for airline pilots, that along with Age 65 and cabotoge sp?

start at $37k?? huh, i wish...
good article, tho, thnx

Please excuse my ignorance, but how in the heck is prohibiting people from getting a muti-engine rating going to help the industry? I'm a little confused. How would a pilot gain experience to get on with an airline if they didn't have a multi-engine rating? Am I missing something?

Re-read the thread...
