Keep in mind that the airline profession was at its peak, when a senior captain could buy a new Cadillac on a months take-home pay. (adjusted for inflation, about $50,000 take-home pay).
Then during the President Carter administration, they decided that it was better for the "Jerry Springer crowd", to let them fly for less than a bus fare by forcing the airlines into "de-regulation".
Eventually, the giants of the industry, Pan Am, TWA, Eastern, Braniff and others met their demise.
President Carter is a Democrat !
Recently, de-regulation is being viewed by some as a cause to the airlines financial woes and some form of re-regulation is being explored by officials.
Democrat or Republican ?....good question...
Interesting...McCain is against reducing fatigue. Reducing fatigue will cost the corporati's money.... McCain is for the Corporations...
Its not Country First rather Corporate First...
Don't worry...they haven't been able to do anything about it in the past 35 years, why would they be able to do anything about it now?I sure hope ALPA wastes more time and money on CrewPass and not on fatigue issues.
What a joke, 4 of 8 pilots selected for "random screening" when I went through in CAE.
Interesting...
What did Clinton do to address this issue?
And if de-reg had not happened would you have a pilot job?Then during the President Carter administration, they decided that it was better for the "Jerry Springer crowd", to let them fly for less than a bus fare by forcing the airlines into "de-regulation".

I wasn't asking if you were a pilot for ALPA at the time or not...what kind of lasting progressive landmarks were achieved for pilots under a pro-labor democratic POTUS?...but I do hear that when ALPA called the WH someone picked up the phone...
Take your pick, YIP: Lots of jobs at low wages, or a few jobs at respectable pay?And if de-reg had not happened would you have a pilot job?
