Great, hasnt this subject been covered enough already. I got a great idea, lets only hire pilots with 5000 hours or more, but because we cant get enough pilots with that expierience we will have to cancel 3/4 of our flights for the day. Lets see how the PAX and media will respond to that.

Those differences start to go away when you're comparing the 5,000 hour guy to the 1,000 hour guy. Not knocking on the low time guys, we were all there once. But just because jets are shiny and go real fast doesn't mean you should be rushing off to sit in the right seat of one. |
said it once, ill say it again...
general public does not care. cockpit door is locked, they sit in the back gripping on to their ticket which they bought for the lowest price on expedia, travelocity, priceline, etc ...and as long as they get to where it says on their ticket and 'saved' a couple of bucks on the way, then they will smile, thank you for the flight, and ask how hard you had to wind up the props before takeoff how about an expose on starting pay... |
