Pay question was first question asked...
|
deleted post......
|
Cohen:
pilot compensation and pay is not related to safety pay is competitive and adequate |
I hate Cohen. I really do.
He actually just said that Regional Captains average 72,000 and FO's 32,000. Next he said pay was fair and competitive. This guy cares nothing about improving our industry. |
Prater is addressing base closures and transfers of flying from regional airline to regional airline
|
Way to go Prater. "We have one level of regulation. We do not have one level of safety.
|
Roger Cohen should be prosecuted for the lies he has given in these hearings. I absolutely hate that guy.
|
They are really pushing for a centralized source of pilot history
|
I'm not sure if I heard this correctly since I've been on and off the computer... but did Cohen imply that 3407 crashed due to a sterile cockpit violation?

The hearing hasn't addressed the fact that the CVR was never conceptualized to be a monitoring or enforcement tool. And, it
(mark my words here), if this rule goes thru as some of these people would like it to see. WE WILL have an accident in the future related to the LACK of communication in the cockpit in a critical phase of flight. Colgan 3407 IS NOT a landmark accident, and the mistakes made by the crew seem remarkable. Indeed there was a serious failing within the cockpit, but were these failings any greater than NUMEROUS accidents in recent history at legacy carriers. I think that this is political grandstanding, and Colgan is being used as leverage to correct problems within the industry that have NOTHING to do with preventing a similar accident. Too many people with an agenda outside the realm of safety are involved to the point where the NTSB findings will be anti-climatic and almost a moot point. Hell, everything has already been out in the open as it is...People have already prejudged the accident, and setting a trend where the NTSB is replaced as the "investigating arm by the "experts" in Congress. Be very, very careful what you ask for people, because you just might get it...And, it isn't going to be the changes you want to see. The system is broke...The system is dysfunctional. There is NO single level of safety. This is not going to change in the space of even a few years. This is our reality. "Taking it back"? Good luck with that, and I support ALPA. I am a proud member, but we are the ones under the scrutiny, and as always pilots need to stand together, because these friggin Senators could care less about us... |

That's actually probably pretty accurate and if anything a little low. My guess is it's a little bit higher than those numbers.

Surprised this hasn't hit any of the news channels yet though perhaps this evening after its over?
Makes me so happy seeing some senators appearing to be on our side with these issues. Cohen unsuccessfully tap-dancing around the issues also makes me chuckle. |

I know... me too, he's lying out of his teeth 90% of the time. Prater is doing an excellent job IMO.

Now the question is going to be what gets changed??? Let's not get all excited about it yet. We are bound to give up something we like, in order to fix something we don't. I just don't see any other way. |
Uh Oh, while I think a lot of good things are being discussed, I sure hope this FAA REAUTHORIZATION VOTE, the senator is talking about, isnt a BIG BROTHER coming..
|
so does the sudden adjournment have anything to do with its lunch time....lol:D
