Likely to happen?

Copied from a thread on another message board.


"It also is a fact that traditonally there has been only one major airline berth for every 7-10 applicants...........and that was in GOOD hiring times. With future contraction/stagnation, 7-8 out of 10 current regional pilots will NEVER make a major carrier. When it comes to these two freight carriers whose hiring is very limited even when they do hire, the odds are better of getting a call from Jennifer Aniston for a date or a knock at the door from Publishers Clearinghouse with a $1,000,000 check.

Many of these pilots still dream the dream, but for most it's too painful to consider the likely probability they'll never see it. For most, if they choose to stay in this "profession", they'll have to be content with retiring on a 70-90 seat RJ. Some will come to terms with that but others will become emotional basket cases around their 40th birthday. I assume in about 6-8 years there will be Youtube footage of late 30's regional captains (and F/O's !) sobbing like schoolgirls in various airline bathrooms or unexaplainably attacking garbage cans or Starbucks baristas.

There's a wave of mental health issues soon to come at the regionals that may thin their ranks as complete and total mental crackups begin to accelerate.

A shame it will be."

Probably flame, but what the heck. Wrong again Brown Bone! Do a google search on mainline retirements from 2012-2018. There WILL be a shortage. There is NO debate on this issue. The numbers speak for themselves. Legacy carriers will be forced to reduce hiring minimums to fill the right seat. If they don't, they won't be able to crew airplanes. Simple as that. So for all you kiddy's who dream of flying the whale, the skies the limit. Follow your dreams, or sit in a cubicle for the next 40 years.
Peace out.

Or scope could be relaxed even more.

 

[bigbird]

Haha.. Thats great! I agree. I am already going insane. At 40 I will be locked up in a mental institution if I dont find a new career. The regionals suck..

Some turds just float near the top-brown is just one of the nuttier ones...

 

[pilotyip]

The hiring boom is coming again, those who are flying professionally will get the first job offers.

 

[laserman2431]

I predict brown on the bone will get fired for violating the company don't as don't tell policy.

I wouldn't mind being at a regional for my career, even if they flew turboprops still. That's just the type of flying I enjoy. My point is, I enjoy flying and I don't need to fly the "heavy metal" to feel important or self worth. You seem to think everyone wants to be at UPS or NASA. Some people are genuinely happy with their careers, most of them aren't affiliated with this website, ironically.

you may want to look up the definition of irony then edit your post accordingly.

I don't think there's any way management will take seats out of the
big RJs.

That is nothing but a bargaining chip for mainline MECs.

I agree, the seats will not go. We will get a no furlough clause for the guys already furloughed!

Bombardier says they're going to build a 90 - 100 seat version of the Q400.

Mainliners won't want it because of the parochial bias that it's a turbo prop and since the mainline MECs have always wanted to divide it up by seat numbers, I now believe that 100 seaters (+ or -) will be flown by the affiliate carriers.

The PID request of 2000 seems like a lifetime ago now, doesn't it?
