Something like that needs to get broadcasted on TV. He hit the nail on the head

Default Why would anyone care?

Do you care about what a Walmart employee must go through? The only thing the public cares about is how much the tickets are.

A better plan would be to send information like that every new student pilot.

Why? Are you trying to increase the shortage?

Sorry about that.. Here is the other one I found..

And if walmart had my a$$ in their hands after a 15 hour day, I would... But, if flicking the light for a red light special counts as my a$$ in a sling, then I will take more into consideration.

There is only a shortage of pilots who are willing to work for so little. Perhaps if the supply of eager new pilots who are willing to do anything for the job were slimmed down we all would have a better chance.

Our worst competition comes from the next generation. It only takes 90 days to make a new commercial pilot. They are lured into the profession by false promises of women and treasure. Perhaps if we were to give them a dose of reality early on they would switch to something else.

I know I sure would have.

Uh, actually I do. I think it's lame that people that work at Walmart have to be on public aid. I won't even shop at Walmart because of their unethical tactics.

I don't like Walmart either but that hasn't stopped the rest of the world from shopping there. The bottom line is that customers could really care less about the lives of aircrews. The only factor that causes the market to move is prices.

Why pay more when others are willing to do it for less?
