Nobody seems to understand who the REAL culprit is - THE CONSUMER!! If you were not a pilot, would you be willing to PAY for GOOD PILOTS, a comfortable airplane, bountiful schedule offerings, excellent in-flight service, SAFETY, etc???? Since deregulation, the airline industry has continually had to bid down to the lowest bidder because CUSTOMERS are not educated enough to feel justified to pay what they should pay. Most discretionary travelers prefer CHEAP over everything else. Only business and first class travelers care about anything but "value".
What we need is to educate the customer. What's the difference between Captain Sully and the "Captains" of the last three regional airline crashes? Oh, Sully is experienced and therefore "expensive". Congress is ****ed; the Colgan 3407 disaster really opened their eyes to the true nature of post-deregulation aviation, where pilots can train at a factory school, buy themselves 250 hours of turbine time at Gulfstream and magically become a "captain" someday. Any coincidence that all three of the last US fatal airline crashes were "captained" by a Gulfstream alumn? Experience should be EARNED, RESPECTED, and then PROPERLY RECOGNIZED WITH APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION!! Somehow, the industry needs to do a better job of DEMANDING good pilots and PAYING THEM ACCORDINGLY. Now that it is impossible for people to get career training loans at factory schools, only die-hard pilots who EARN their experience will earn the right to fly in the 121 environment. THEN we will HAVE to be paid accordingly. |

So the same guy that is organizing a breast cancer walk is also going to change a few laws as well? When you are done with those two could you figure out a way to get all the regional planes onto mainline and then raise our pay. I also do not want to pay taxes anymore, if you can work that out. Thanks in advance!

Oh YOU'RE so damn clever.The RLA is for railroads, we need an ALA.Easiest way to promote change is to show that we wont continue to put up with the current situation. Don't give me that crap about the economy when people are still making millions and those millions are benefitting them, we are doing ok.It might suck for us, but hey this is the path we chose...right? Get bent, youand all the other sackless guys on here.Im not gonna sit here and waste away, complaining, without trying to at least do something about it. |

Yep, we all agree about this job sucking. And what are you proposing exactly?

Instead of coming on here with no website, no propaganda, no nothing, just an email address...maybe you should have waited until you got the website built before you go blindly in the internets posting this "effin" stuff.
