Not really. I misspoke I meant more like under 1,000ft/ a 1/2 mile final

 

It would still be a million to one shot. There's some real threats we face, but that ain't one.

 

^^^ This guy gets it!
If this isn't the best argument for flattening of the pay scales I don't know what is. So much easier to start over at a new carrier.

 

highly disagree. especially when you consider that they could get more advanced shoulder fired rockets

Oh and
"THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!!!!"

But seriously they are probably gonna be spending more money bringing Australians here then just simply raising the wage

 

actually the md80 crash in africa this morning was the 4TH aviation accident this week, there was also 2 Ukrainian fighter jets shot down yesterday

just like when they spend more money by hiring foreign nurses i.e. bonuses, free tickets back to their home country etc.

here is my 2 cents on "pilot shortage"
i sent my resume' 3 times to silver airways (to hr email address) and never even got an acknowledgement. last month i sent her another email asking for a simple reply just to know that the email address was good or perhaps i needed to apply online thru their website etc... again nothing. come on, silver is offering 12 grand in bonuses and they dont reply?
yesterday i saw "empire airlines" (never heard of them) were looking for atr pilots throughout the country. well shreveport is cheaper to live in than newark ha ha so i applied for that position and i got back an email the next day saying that upon careful consideration they will be interviewing more qualified candidates. (it was just a cut and paste rejection form) wow you would think they certainly would be looking for pilots ! i have also sent resumes to other parts of the world... macau, hong kong, tajikistan, asghanistan, taiwan etc where supposedly they are hurting for pilots and so far nobody has even replied bothered to acknowledge receipt of emails. the only job offers i get are for flight instructors. so i guess im good enough to teach people to fly for an airline but not good enough to fly in an airline myself there are 200,000 faa licensed pilots with an atp or commercial and more than 1500 hours with a first class medical or could get a 1st class medical and there are roughly 66,000 pilot positions at the airlines. thats 3 pilots for every job. the airlines say they will be hiring roughly 4000 pilots year and 8000 new atp licenses were issued last year ! after my recent experience in searching for an airline job i really dont see a shortage or lack of pilots. btw i hold an faa atp sel ses mel mes, b737 ce500 a320, flight dispatcher, agi igi, cfi me ia, flight navigator and flight eng turbojet written passed, 2800 total 104 me, 1st class medical, secret security clearance etc etc

 

Well yeah, and they could get death star tractor beams too.

Attempting to equate crude RPG's that can barely hit something close range and stationary with advanced anti aircraft guided missile systems is quite a leap.

Of course that's a threat, but it has nothing to do with RPG's.

 

Do yourself a favor, stop listing your type ratings on your resume when applying to regional airlines. Also, lose the dispatcher and FE written. I'm not saying lie on the application or anything like that but drop it off your resume so you can get some interviews.

 

Out of curiosity, why? Those are outstanding credentials.
