3:1 rule

3:1 rule versus the 1:3 rule

The little talked about 1:3 rule is this: a civilian pilot can expect to work for 1 out of 3 companies that will not be in Bankruptcy.

In other words the majority of civilian pilots will work for a company that will either be in bankruptcy, teetering on the edge of BK, or have recently emerged from it, throughout most of his/her career.

BE FLEXIBLE

The 3:1 rule in aviation, simply stated, means only that out of every three marriages you try, one won't drain you completely dry. The 6:1 rule is a better rule, because out of six marriages tried, one might work.

I like this explanation best. :laugh:
