"Until that Senator's"

Yup! The fastest (and sometimes only) way to new legislation is to let a member of congress's family get hurt. Welcome ... Public Law 104-264, as codified in Title 49 USC, in language, The Pilot Records Improvement Act.

Simple example.

One more I can mark dead on my scab list. He won't come off the list though, not even in death. Never forgive.

Commuter pilots calling people scabs. That's good stuff!!!

 

[Flopgut]

As close as CAL has set the staffing, every pilot in this BES just got stretched incredibly thinner. We might have the same thing happen in <6 months.

I'm wondering where all the super-pro-65 zealots are??

If this were a thread that was critical of the age change they would already be all over it. Page 7 and none of them are around.

If the press releases are correct, he was a scab. It doesn't matter who says it.

For flying stuff that major airlines have scoped out?

Come on.

You know as well as the rest of us that the growth of the vendor airlines has been the result of bankruptcy laws and management when they use the system to hold a gun to the pilot group's head and get the scope changed.

I can't believe I wanted to be included in the pilot group. A man dies at the controls today and one of the first things we do is look him up on a scab list. No wonder this job has gone so far downhill. I can't wait to leave this so called profession. What a bunch of idiots.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Sad.....

You're an idiot. And I never would have posted that if you kept your mouth shut like you should have.

61. This never would have happened if he had retired when he was supposed to... (Yes. I realize this is callous, but it had to be said as the issue was brought up ad nauseum during the Age 60 fight. They said it would never happen... Condolences to his family.)

 

[CessnaFan]

Zealots?

We're busy working.

Nothing like the mental capacity of a fly to jump to conclusions based on a single episode. Yet another genius....very impressive.

Fourth on duty heart attack at CAL in the last 3.5 years. This is the second in flight death.

 

[Bringupthebird]

Given the choice, I would prefer to die at home surrounded by loved ones.

Nah, tell the folks you love what you would tell them at you bedside- every day. Because you aren't given the choice.

Yeah...but I have a choice of whether I will work for free or not...

So do the regional whor...eerrr pilots...

>>>>I'm wondering where all the super-pro-65 zealots are?? <<<

Plenty of < age 60 pilots have died. Plenty of < age 60 pilots have medicaled out. Things happen to people of all ages. Matter of fact the most dangerous time seems to be around age 50 to 55. Once a guy makes it past that point, statistics show he's going to be good past age 65. Don't take one incodent and use it as a statistical certainity or proof. I have heard of plenty of guys who had a medical problem and a couple of have died who < age 60.
