Regional Airline Experience
You guys will find this funny as I know I did, there was a previous thread on here about an ABC run news story...well this is actually where they got their information. Watch the video, you will be laughing by the end...people just don't know what the hell they are talking about sometimes.

"5 EYEWITNESS NEWS points out that Mesaba and Pinnacle, NWA’s primary regional parters, do require more experience than most in the industry. Pinnacle pilots are required to have 1,000 hours of experience and Mesaba requires 650." 9E only hires FO's with 1000 hrs? Really? LOL! BTW, I think this article or one like it was posted in the last month. To the best of my knowledge only two airlines are holding hard to the 1000/100 mark (SKW and RAH). Even XJT is well below that mark. Yes SKW will interview at 850 hours but only if you have over 200 hours of 121 experience. |

Some minor inaccuracies notwithstanding, I thought it was well done. The only laughable idiot was the RAA rep. He basically says the guy you want flying your airliner should be young with as much XBOX time as possible.

djroqs03d,
Could not agree more with what you said. I was myself one of these highly dangerous, unsafe and inexperienced MDs performing surgeries fresh out of medical school years ago before moving into aviation. Luckily and apparently miraculously with less than 250 hours of surgical time, I did not kill anybody;) This video is indeed pathetic but don't you think guys that our fellow NWA colleague deserves an award for the relevance of his analysis of the current situation. I am more than willing to contribute:). Skull |
