Bracing for Fallacies

What is the driver behind all the regional hiring since the start of 2011? If the majors aren't hiring, and the 50 (or less) seaters are going away according to some threads, why are the regionals hiring hundreds each? I am not being sarcastic.

Jeez.
Did either of you report the offending post - knowing that they were not in compliance with the TOS?
I didn't see it.

HMP - a hint for your future postings.
If you want your posts to remain up - don't quote something in your post that you think might be against the TOS and therefore deleted.
Your CASE didn't even make the docket!

Let me remind you:

The real question you should be asking is how many of those students were US citizens who intend to work in the USA.

Dare I say it....another hike in the retirement age?

The mandatory retirement age was raised to 65 to align with ICAO Standards. It was going to happen. I don't see it being raised farther unless it happens elsewhere first.

This is EXACTLY why I quit being a moderator at FI. I don't get paid to baby sit grown pilots who want to whine or complain due to either being too thin skinned, or the other end of the spectrum.

Q&A with Louis Smith? I thought he shut FAPA down over a decade ago, is he back selling snake oil?

I think you meant Lemmings. Lemurs would be awesome.

Not until next Christmas, actually. Age 65 kicked in on 12/14/07 and the first mandatory retirements will be 12/14/12.
