It's a big joke. Scam on the American people, destroying the professional pilot career on the side.

This is what it reads under professional:

"Regional airline pilots are professional aviators who meet the highest standards, prove their safe flying skills through regular tests, and hold the most advanced certification issued by the FAA"

So I guess they do want the ATP minimum to go through. :D

ATPs for all would be awesome.

anybody else find it funny that in the video one of the first things he mentions about why he wanted to become a regional pilot is to better himself financially???

Check this out...they can't even get this right.....


How many hours of flying experiences does a pilot need to fly for a regional airplane?
Every commercial airline pilot, for a regional airline or a major airline, must have at least 1,500 hours of flying experience serve as the pilot in command on any flight, as mandated by FAA regulations. The FAA also mandates that all first officers must have at least 250 hours of experience serving as the pilot in command on cross-country flights.

This was written by someone who doesn't have a clue what they are writing about. Must have been Cohan himself.

That furloughed Comair pilot must've been pumped to put on his uniform one more time.

Horse Sheet!

I have never seen anything this disgusting before. After all the effort to let the public know that the regional airplane they step onto is not the same as the major airline paint scheme it has. Now people will be able to cite this video as proof that regional airline pilots are just as safe and as well paid as the majors.

Oh yeah, and I love how he says safety is written all over their manuals, so it must be their highest priority. Really, what they mean is do whatever you can to make sure we make money. If that means pushing the limits of fatigue, weather, or whatever else go right ahead, but don’t hurt anyone or damage the aircraft because that will cost us more money.

I hope this guy got paid a lot for this. How many more have to die before the damage of this video is undone?
