Why are you guys whining about lowering the upgrade requirements? There are a number of "regionals" out there whose only requirement to upgrade is ATP minimums. Why should Pinnacle be any different? Lowering the total time requirement seems like a good thing to me.....it means you can upgrade sooner! If a guy has ATP minimums and can pass the type ride, OE, etc., then why not let them be Captain?

We are already hiring 200hr FO's because no one with knowledge of the industry/experience wants to work for our contract, now we will pair low time capts with them? Here's an idea: GIVE A COMPETITIVE CONTRACT THAT PILOTS WILL WANT TO WORK FOR AND YOU WANT HAVE TO HIRE 19YR OLDS WHO STILL HAVE THEIR PAPER COMMERCIAL LISCENCE!!!!
I keep hoping the general public will figure out the dirty little secret of the "regionals" and the pay rates/duty hours involved for this pay. Maybe, just maybe then we can get the bought and paid for Repbublicrats to re-write the FARs and install an aviation "minimum wage".. This has gone on far enough! |
The problem is the public knows and just doesn't care.......
