I go to WMU. They can't keep instructors right now. Everyone is off to regionals as soon as they meet the mins and their 6 month contract expires.

Wow...a thread about ever lowering the bar in airline pilot experience requirements. Warms my heart to think babysitting has come this far....

I can relate to this statement however it is a gross over-generalization. I've seen many 1000+ hour students come to training and not have a clue.....even those with jet experience....Its sad when holding procedures are a mystery to these people.

Experience and training is about quality not quantity... yes the times listed are very low, however this is a skill based business.... time doesn't make you qualified, skills do.

how much skill does a 2,500 hour erj pilot have who can't hand fly himself out of a wet paper bag have? I bet a 500 hour pilot fresh out of training has better "skills" hands down...the experience...maybe not...but, they are two completely different categories...you can't knock the "skills" of a completely competant human being until given the chance to prove themselves in the hot seat....

and then we hear people complain about low pay at the regionals...
what is "low"? is $20/hour low?
is a 400 hour pilot worth more than $20/hour? I think not.
