Pilot supply a major concern for regional airlines | Wichita Eagle

“They’re paying you to fly an airplane, and that’s pretty cool,” Cohen said.


Umm. Mr. Cohen, there are a lot of descriptions of what an airline pilot does that you are leaving out, conveniently, I might add.

Any two pilots could be entrusted with the safe travel of hundreds to thousands of people on a given day.

There is a big difference in the value of someone that ensures the safe operation of an airliner from point A to B than someone that simply flies an airplane.

"Pretty Cool" isn't a tangible monetary unit that we can buy things and pay bills with.

shouldn't he be on a beach with some SPF 0 or something? and 30K a year to start? where do the lies end?

This guy is such a D-Bag, someone shut his mouth!!

I remember watching the Colgan frontline episode and seeing Cohen questioned and his reactions...some of his facial expressions were priceless!:D

Priceless wasn't my first thought, but you have a point!:D

Cohen suffers from diarrhea of the mouth. The guy is a grade A ****bag.

If you pause it at any point during this stretch it looks like Cohen is getting taken up the tailpipe. Now I know what his vinegar strokes look like...ewww.

Anyone have a muzzle? This guy is the TOTD every day he wakes up with the ability to speak.

This is what happens when the totally clueless are given audience to speak their mind. No different than Hollywood opining on politics.

Of course the problem is that the general public will believe him, and the minute that the low fares to Orlando grind to a halt you can bet that the letters, emails, and phone calls will be flying.

Would also make a great dart board!

You guys are wasting so much energy on this guy. He's just a hired spokesperson for their cause, no worse and no better than the spokespeople we hire for our cause (the unions).

Not true. The inflatable rat never talks.

is he even a rated pilot? Love the spray tan...

No, pay me for what you pray does not happen when you are on the plane as a passenger. We, as pilots, have more responsibility that you can fathom. Go back to the hole you crawled out of.

Nope....according to his background he comes from the PR side. Lots of working as a mouthpiece for different companies (started with TWA) but no flying experience whatsoever which explains his comments about "getting paid to fly is cool" and "flying circles" to build time (never thought working as a CFII and flying charters was flying circles but whatever). His degree is in Journalism.

Essentially he knows nothing but the talking points laid down in front of him by RAA members.....

Doesn't Roger Cohen remind anyone of that principal from The Breakfast Club? "You mess with the bull..... you get the horns!!"

Same here. :D

I never 'LOL', but this seriously just made me laugh out loud!

He brags about making $30,000 to the Wichita Aero Club (Whatever that is) and people think "Wow- thats a lot of money!". However no one has a base in ICT, the bases are in NY,DC,Chicago, LA which allows you to buy nothing on $30,000 a year.

Seriously Roger (and I know you're reading this because you are a megalomaniac who needs to feed off of his press junkets) give that SAME speech to the Aero Club of DC. Put on your nice suit and speak in front of the mover and shakers in the Air and Space Museum, and say "You can make $30,000 a year". They'll laugh you out of the building! Hell, the janitor cleaning up after the event makes about $50,000 - He'll be laughing too!

That's what is particularly sad about the current state of things. He boasts about starting pay being 30k per year, which he knows is a complete lie...yet even his falsified beginning salary is horribly low.

You mean they're not the same guy? Thanks, that's like when my sister told me Santa wasn't real. You just f..'d up my whole week.

Actually he reminds me of this guy:
Animal House - All Is Well! - YouTube

This just reminds us all how important it is to support the ALPA PAC so that our voice is heard just as much if not more over his.

Alpa > ALPA PAC

Gee how many other low paying careers could you use that for:

"They're paying you to feed a Lion, and that's pretty cool" (zookeeper)

"They're paying you move volatile petrochemicals under pressure into a motorized device, and that's pretty cool" (gas pumper)

"They're paying you to perform a good ole' fashion hippy beating and Taze a fleeing suspect, and that's pretty cool" (security guard)

"They're paying you to handle highly sensitive financial instruments and federal currency under pressure, and that's pretty cool" (bank teller).

"They're paying you to listen to Flight Attendants talk abou their cats, and that's pretty cool"

"They're paying you to search for food at 12:30am in downtown TUL, and that's pretty cool"

"They're paying you to argue with a-hole Gate Agents about EVERYTHING, and that's pretty cool"

"They're paying you to be a gerbil farmer, and thats pretty cool." (Cohen's other job)

"I pay to get irradiated by a high level of UV rays, and that's pretty cool!"

"They are paying you to have sex, and that's pretty cool" (prostitute)

:D

Now that could actually be a high paying "profession" so it's cool and lucrative!:eek:

As well as "They're paying you to work out and that's pretty cool" (stripper)

Gerbil farmer/trainer...:eek:

Cohen looks like Bernie Lomax from the classic movie "Weekend at Bernie's". What a chode!

Found Cohen's son Danny Cohen. http://sussexcountyangel.files.wordp...s-com_0015.jpg
