Yeah please keep patting yourself on the back with all your hard sacrifices, while looking down on regional guys as a bunch of unqualified rejects. I’m sure the relationship between us will only grow stronger.

Interesting to watch the thread about the upcoming jumpseat war. It's usually the 5-10% (that every group has!) that causes all the problems. As an ex regional puke (TSA.. 00-07) I know that most of the RJ guys/gals just want to do their time and move on to bigger and better things. But it's always a small set of loudmouths that stir up the pot and cause trouble. They exist everywhere.. had them at CAL and still have them at the NUAL. Always look forward to flying with the newhires.. and biers/dinner will be on me (if the Captain doesn't do it!) Stay Strong.. hang in there and see ya online soon Oh- Fly Safe, Fly Professionally & Fly the Contract! Motch |
Agree with watch Motch says . I have helped and mentored lots of guys get out from the ranks of exactly where I came from ....
I don’t look down on anybody, the guys you squat on today could be the guy that does your interview sometime in the future . You never know , it’s a small industry... Or just don’t be a D bag . I welcome all those hustling trying to improve their career. .. |

Not worried in the least. It's just history repeating.
In the late 1960's UAL hired a wave of pilots that only had private licenses and UAL actually ran a flight school to get commercial/multi ratings. Those guys retired as 747 CAs. Between 1988 and 1995, UAL hired a wave of interns when UAL's minimums were 350TT. (Although UAL's published minimums didn't change, UAL smartly looked for more experience starting in '95.) We have plenty of CAs flying the system daily that were hired with less than 1000TT and zero turbine. IMHO, this AVIATE program is much better structured than either of those earlier schemes. I'd much rather have low time (3000TT), but very well trained, new-hires flying with experienced CAs at mainline than the situation at Express with marginally trained 1500hr single-engine FOs flying with CAs that were hired six months earlier. It's all about the crew pairing. Train them right, mentor the culture, and the sharp young pilots will soak it up like a sponge. |
Does anyone know what “partner 135 operators” the program requirements refer to? There doesn’t appear to be a list of these. Thanks

Wondering if any mainline UAL pilot would let me PM a question? I’d post here but rather keep the Internet wolves away...

It's being rumored that UAL pilots will be able to check in online 24 hours prior, is this true?
