Airnow (a little soon for them to be posting)

[honeycomb]

I am not joking about dead pilots.

I am joking about the AD for pilots after a death. Different.

There are two threads about this. Check out my other posts.

I am poking fun of the AirNow Mgmt Group. Not the Employees. They cannot and do not place ads for new hires.

The point is that they have a trend of a/c hull loses in the EMB 110. And, now an ad comes out. Just giving the Mgmt side the needle. It is the business side of the Aviation industry. It is just business to them. Not human...the way we look at it. Again two different approaches to the craft of aviation.

We strive to save life and limb. Mgmt would, if they could, ask you to sacrafice your life and limb. You have to know when to say NO!

No one is immune from having an accident. Hence the name Accident.

Fly Safe.

I don't know how that ad posting thing works, but could it be that the ad was typed and on a waiting list irregardless of the accident? Then it just came out at that time?
Or do they just type up an ad and hit send?

On the training issue:
I do not agree with the statement that the training is (very) good, great, excellent, or whatever. NOT when you crash 4 a/c in 14 months.
The training may be perceived to be good by some, but that record sure shows something wrong, somewhere.
There is more to training, single pilot or two crew, than just having a person perform to standard when the big day of the show comes (ie, checkride).
How about being able to weed out incompetance, subpar performance, lack of self confidence under pressure and heavy workload, and other physiological factors.

I'm not knocking Airnow or the pilots, just making a third person observation.

It sucks for everyone when a freightdog buys the farm, not only that particular company.

My understanding is that AirNow is now required to use 2 pilots per aircraft.

Believe still single pilot, just a training issue added onto the req.

 

[OzBushWhacker]

Believe still single-pilot, just new training req. But can someone tell me if a bandit is any more complex than a single-pilot metro or B-1900???

The Bandit is WAY(understatement) easier to fly single pilot than a Metro. Not sure about the 1900, but I would bet they are pretty close.
