You are advocating the classic race to the bottom. I feel sorry for you.

 

With a quote like that, I know you're full of ****.

 

"Advocating the classic race to the bottom", simply because I challenge your assertion that sub-ATP minimum pilots are unsafe. That's pretty funny...

 

Flying (be it military or civilian)is inherently dangerous. That's why some people take trains and sports broadcasters cross the US in motorhomes. As aviation professionals, we minimize the risk.

 

BoilerUP is not advocating a race to the bottom. He is stating the obvious. And he doesn't need your "Feeling sorry for him".

He and I and a few others on this board have been fighting hard to stop the race to the bottom. We just won a major grievance at our company which helps to do just that.

I have flown with captains at my company who, through good timing, are captains with quite low time. They have been almost without exception very good, safe pilots and have shown better judgement than some more experienced ones I have flown with who seem to revert to a 60's style cowboy way of thinking in tough situations. (LGA anyone?)

Don't pick on BoilerUP until you know the fight that has been going in within our company to stop the race to the bottom. We have lost a lot of business opportunities supposedly because of our pilot group's refusal to participate in that race.

 

Then the company will claim that they are bankrupt and start imposing rules. Most pilots don't have the gumption to walk to prove a point for the industry. See SkyHigh's posts for more info.

 

I'm beginning to think you ARE SkyHigh. Your posts are so contradictory one to the next its difficult to ascertain exactly what the heck your point is.

So either we're "lowering the bar", or after fighting to raise the bar we'll inevitably be screwed by management and yet won't "have the gumption to walk to prove a point for the industry". You've proven time and time again you don't know jack about the regional airline industry in general or specific pilot groups as a whole.

How many times did YOU "walk to prove a point for the industry"?

 

I know enough to know that it's a waste of time. Why don't you grow up and get a real life instead of running around the sky like a curious child.

 

Goin' ad hominem on me after I've proven your arguments wrong time and time again, eh? That's the best quote yet!

You don't know sh!t my friend...

 

I'm closing this. The lack of respect in both your posts is over the line. You guys need to learn to make your points without name calling and disrespect otherwise you'll find yourself drawing moderator attention.
