All that ALPA, APA, etc would have to do (to avoid a job action) is hire someone under the table to do the dirty work for them.
Kind of like in politics when its not Mccain, Obama or Clinton themselves diging up dirt on they're opponents but the PAC's acting as the assassin on they're behalf...
I agree with that too but don't you think a large number of those will burn out after a few yrs at the regionals? It seems many will not be happy with the pay and QOL and leave the industry long before they have the hours to be competitive for the majors.
It seems that the professon will slowly get back on track. Why? Well new student starts are near an all time low and domestic demand for air travel is projected to increase at over 5%/yr for the next decade.
Yes, it is true that there is no pilot shortage at the majors now. However it IS...
Can you be more specific about what exactly happened?
I've heard that it is best to visit with an aviation attorney and what they often will do is contact the FAA attorney and describe the situation without revealing your identity. Then when they can agree on a reasonable sanction, your...
The way to work around that is on given random days all flights divert to a suitable alternate several hundred miles from dest. This will wreak just as much havok as a formal strike.
I agree with everything you mentioned here. I'd like to add something. If you were flying the N Atlantic and you were overhead Goose Bay with unknown smoke and an RVR 300 ft below mins there, would you excersise your emergency authority and attempt a below min ldg at Goose Bay or take the...

If you take into account the higher cost of fuel, are these spreadsheets accurate for determining fixed and DOC?
1) What is the minimum altitude in which fuel will evaporate when dumped?
2) At what rate can most heavies jettison fuel?
3) Even when fuel evaporates before it hits the surface isn't it still a problem if other aircraft are flying below since the exhaust could spark the flammable vapors?
Bet no one has thought of this!!
If anyone is truly concerned about a 737 type hurting them elsewhere I'd suggest (assuming SWA is in they're top 3) that they obtain a 737 type in Canada. Since the TR will have been earned outside the USA, it will not show up when your pilot records are...
Here is a good way to make some extra money to suppliment the crappy regional FO pay.

Completely legal and safe not to mention fun and exciting. This is not an endorsement as I am not affiliated with them in any manner.
No one has mentioned this
One thing that was not mentioned is the possibility of cargo drones a few decades from now. I know I sound really foolish bringing this up, but this should be something on one's radar screen long before it could happen.
If I were a visionary and a union leader for...
FO 4 Life, Pilotkppsg and Junkflyer,
