Is screening canidates the problem or is compensation? Doesn't matter who screens the canidates if no one is willing to pay them...you end up with the same stack of resumes. Do you really think the current recruiting/screening efforts at the regionals is letting the best qualified canidates "slip through their fingers"? No they are still taking the best qualified canidates given those folks who are still willing to apply at a regional!


If candidates had a guaranteed spot at a major (after the mentoring session at the regional and provided they performed to standards ) you would get the best of the best and the major could demand that only the best of the best be hired due to the ultimate reward of a job at a major awaiting them.

I like the intent, but I just feel like it's unecessarily adding a step that is already covered. The maors will hire who they want when the time comes. The problems will still be at the regional level. I am a fan of the military route though, but to tell you the truth, what pilot gets out of the military and wants to go fly for the airlines? There really aren't that many anymore. Most want to go on to become business owners and management. My father flew P-3's and is in management within a whole different industry. There are no incentives to fly anymore. He watched all his friends at United, Delta, Continental, and People's Express get raked through the coals.

guys are always looking for a easy way to move to a major, why not just apply for the job?

So who is it that is giving this mentoring at the regionals? Who picked them? If they were good enough to give mentoring for the major why wouldn't the major just hire them?

In case nobody has been watching the past 8 years being on the bottom end of a mainline seniority list has not been very rewarding.
 
Really? We are going to respond to this infected anus? Seriously.
 
I prefer my flamebait a bit less brazen. Less is more man!
 
You won't get the best of the best. You will only get someone who was able to afford the PFT...errrrrrrrr I mean "self sponsor".
 
Sad that he actually believes some of the BS he spews. He's thought about this for a while, and now just trying to slide it in as flame bait.
 
It's just instructordude, with a toxic tampon lodged in this mangina.

MPL will cure the training and proficiency problem at the regionals. MPL should also be a partnership between the regional and it's codeshare major partner. The major should recruit and screen candidates and have the candidate self-sponsor through the MPL program. Then the candidate would serve a period of time at the regional partner airline and be mentored by senior regional captains. When the candidate is seasoned, they would transfer to the mainline and fly mainline jets.

No, it won't. From what I have seen in Euroland I am hardly impressed. Europe has (a little bit) thougher interviews/screenings, but it does not eliminate strange decision making and other "strange" things people do. All MPL will do is worsen the decision making progress by a pilot. MPL is the pet argument by the airline industry, so you spent tons of money at the airline which offered MPL, and are stuck until every cent is paid off.
