Maybe someone will build a plane that is built around the pilot and makes more money than the 73 someday, I think we should get that. This is why pilots should fly airplanes and let MGT. manage. I think the ESOP program proved that.

I remember the accident rate of the pre-deregulation crowd.

Weird...

I also remember MANY of those guys hired with minimum experience.

Automation has helped our safety record, but moving away from the "old way" of doing things has saved countless lives.

Thank goodness the old guard left. Flying is much safer nowadays.
