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... |

|

we all know the news doesn't tell the truth....I mean was the Comair crash caused by inexperienced pilots?
|
it is really funny how the media can spin things
the comparison to doctors is simply not credible |
Typical news cast, full of non-facts and 95% filler, how do they come up with these stories?

must have been a slow news day to put that on..

I can't wait to be asked by some jackass passenger how many hours I have . . . and I start a trip tomorrow so I am sure someone will have seen that tonight!!

News does anything to get a story. Leave out the real facts so it will cause panic in the public. "There is no news, like bad news." (The bad guy in Tomorrow Never Dies).

For those of you (poor, poor people;)) that don't live in the MSP area, here's a link to the full story...
