    Pilot shortage?????

    And I bet that those Boeing/Bus FO's that are paid less than our RJ FO's are in the top 5% of income earners in China and are living like Princes. And those CA's who earn as much as our RJ CA's are in the top 1% of pay and are living like Kings. Now compare their lifestyles to the RJ pilots over...

    Pilot shortage?????

    Not wanting to split hairs, but the USA is the holy grail for terrorists! Anything done here will be on a massive scale like 9-11. Not some putz with a bomb strapped to himself. I have heard of terrorists targeting Britain, Spain, Japan, Israel, Japan, the former republics of the USSR, but I...

    Pilot shortage?????

    Realistically you don't need a degree of any sort for anything! 90% of what is learned in college is pushed right out of the mind shortly after taking your exams and graduating. On the job training and experience in what you will actually be doing is all that one really needs. A Harvard graduate...

    Pilot shortage?????

    Would it surprise you if I said that I totally agree! Not quite sure why you used my post as the prompt for your "mind your own business" opinion, but once again...I AGREE! The USA seems to think they have the right to force their will and ideals on the rest of the world...it's bullsh*t!

    Pilot shortage?????

    I don't know what xenofobic means but if you mean xenophobic, I must totally disagree with you as I don't have an intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries. What I do have a RATIONAL fear of are the likes of pilots such as many at some Indian or Chinese airlines who...

    Pilot shortage?????

    So these foreigners would need extensive background and PRIA type checks to work for a US based airline, but does anyone have any idea what background checks are required for a pilot working for a foreign airline that flies into the US and all over the US airspace? A huge double standard! I...

    Pilot shortage?????

    I'm almost sure there will be some loophole that corporate america, in this case the airline industry, will create to allow these flight schools that promise the world but deliver a pile of sh*t, to circumvent the 1500 ATP requirement and allow 800 hour or less kids to continue flooding the...

    2 Questions for Eagle guys....

    And contrary to what so many here think of me, I only want what's best for ALL pilots! Not just Mainline, not just Regional but ALL! And if you all will be flying planes that say JUST American on them (without the silly cursive "eagle" on the side) then that will be the first step to bettering...

    2 Questions for Eagle guys....

    A word of friendly caution about Eagle. Although things look good now with good movement, I have heard all the flowthroughs who are going have gone for now and it will be quite some time before anymore go. And AA is planning on diversifying much of Eagle feed. And Eagle isn't like the other...

    Continental Pilots Offering 70-seat Scope?

    That statement is very heartening. It gives me hope that pilots have some how found some balls. But sadly, based on the POS contracts every pilot group has signed since June of 2001 when the Delta pilots signed the last good contract in this industry, I don't believe it for a second. I would bet...

    Pilot shortage?????

    Yes, this pilot shortage talk occurred in 1999 through August 2001, but then there was 9-11 and the reprieve that created, then our destruction of all those WMD's in Iraq in 2003 creating another drop off in travel and yet another reprieve, then oil prices that starting going up considerably in...

    Pilot shortage?????

    Very simple to answer this. There will NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER EVER NEVER EVER be a shortage of airline pilots for US major carriers. There will always be plenty of RJ CA's with 1,000 pic, which after all only takes about 3 to 4 years from regional newhire to 1,000 PIC regional CA when there...

    Horizon

    I said nothing of the sort. I said that I'd love to know how many pilot jobs became available at the legacy carriers since 9-11. I did say and I quote "THERE AREN'T ANY JOBS AT THE MAJOR AIRLINES" but obviously I didn't expect someone to take me absolutely literally. So I will restate that the...

    Horizon

    Was there any reason to swear at me? I guess people aren't reading my posts accurately because I can say the word "white" and everyone will be adamant that I just said "black". I NEVER EVER said the regionals were stable. I HAVE ALWAYS said that if you are flying a plane all painted up in United...

    Horizon

    Brilliant! So why didn't anybody else think of that? Everyone should just go to the Major Airlines where the only other airline jobs exist, plus relish in all that stability. Oh, that's right, THERE AREN'T ANY JOBS AT THE MAJOR AIRLINES because the regionals are flying more and more and larger...

    Michael Moore Comments on Regional Pay at Labor Rally

    Really? Pay your dues? If it were 1 year then sure! But every friggin time you are forced to start as a new hire at another airline? Gimme a break!

    Horizon

    No! Not the pilots who only work there but pilots everywhere! What happens at Horizon could happen anywhere. I'm sure the skypest pilots would be raising holy hell if 6 of their planes were being "sold" to another company to fly feed for Delta! Anyone who isn't upset about this truly doesn't...

    Horizon

    Whats up with this? Horizon has CRJ 700's, Alaska needs CRJ 700 feed, so what do they do? Horizon gives Skypest the 700's?? Same old regional airline industry I guess. And our horrid US labor laws that allow things like this to happen. So this is the thanks the Horizon pilots get for the POS...

    5 year Upgrades at Eagle (and dropping)

    Of course! I'm not one of those pompous as* military guys that seem to be above demeaning themselves by having to fly an rj. But what is your point Boiler? We all have to fly rj's and I have absolutely no qualms with rj's its the regional airline entity that I despise!! They have been a disaster...
