They’ll have a flow when PDT, PSA or Envoy hire them tomorrow.

 

Again, there will be a full investigation. I have no idea what the result of that will be. I hope it totally exonerates the crew. But if it assesses fault to one or both pilots, it is naive IN THE EXTREME to believe that flow would save their careers, even at their current level, far less at the level they might wish to flow to.

You certainly are entitled to your opinion, but it is one I do not share. Everything is volatile in this business. Even long promised pensions can disappear in a bankruptcy. Just ask the Delta pilots.

Absolutely, which doesn’t mean that flow would/will save you if you screw up, which I’m still hoping these pilots did not do. But let’s wait for the mishap board results and not preemptively say that if only Commutair had flow these guys would be fine. These guys might be fine regardless if the mishap investigation doesn’t fault them or totally screwed regardless if it does. Let’s not prejudge the investigation.

 

"I successfully ditched an aircraft on a river after we lost both engines on climb out" vs. "we lost an engine when I put the landing gear in it."

Huh.

 

"Have you ever been involved in an accident or incident or the subject of an investigation?"

The fear is that by answering "yes" to this question the computer scores you lower, or perhaps even disqualifies you automatically regardless of the details.

If a company has thousands of applications with 90% of them being incident/accident free, why waste time on those that have accidents or incidents?


Think about it from a HR perspective.

 

The HR perspective...

Sully calls. You don't care what the computer says. You hire him.

Throwing out a Sully comparison here is stretching it.

 

Sounds like they totally missed the runway??

Not good...

 

The last photo states it landed off the runway. That’s a crash

 

Barring a miracle, it will be a hull loss....

 

The weather wasn’t *that* bad. It looks less like an over-run and more like a wreck imo.
