United warned about pilot shortage
 

Hey,

Just do what CAL does every summer and send every single training Pilot to the Line, stop hiring, (more hiring would alleviate most of the problem), pay guys time and 1/2 who can't wait to help the company out instead of having a properly staffed airline and your set.

CAL's been doing this for over 20 years now and the Pilots who help-out are as much to blame as management.

huh???
 

"but don`t get paid for time they spend in other cities, and on other duties" what is that?? are they saying that a pilot on layover is not being paid???:eek:

Cool, the pilot shortage Kit's been talking about is finally here!! I better call ERAU and tell them to up the recruitment.

I hear it's gonna be a goat fnck this summer around UAL. 777s are flying some of the 767 routes (even saw a Triple in Kona HI the other day!), domestic guys are being slammed, and cancellations due to crew shortages are rife. Yet they're properly staffed. Yeah, right.

Hokey smoke, Rocky! Substitute "FedEx" for "CAL" and it fits to a tee. And I thought that we were the only ones dumb enough to do that kinda stuff. It brings a tear of relief to my eye.

I bet I know who was flying that Triple 7...:p

Erau
 

Whats with the bashing of Riddle? Are you a disgruntled UND guy? Or an ERAU drop out? Don't blame a school on the industry or use it as a crutch for a bad attitude...Grow up!

Are you Smoking Crack? ERAU grads cant even spell "Pilot". Not even a comparison. An Accredited University vs. a Trade School. ERAU is for kids who have too much money and couldn't get accepted at a higher education university. Go Purdue and Sioux!!!!!!!!!!! Also, how many "competitions" has UND won in the last 25 years? Like 85%!!! An insane record.

A trade school?? You better tell that to all of the publications that constantly rank ERAU's engineering program at the top of the list.
