Perhaps not. No guarantees.

There wouldn't be any 5 year upgrades. If you were lucky enough, or well connected enough, you might be able to get a job flying airplanes for a living.

Really? Ask one of the many pilots hired between 1960-1970. If there is a market for pilots, pilots will be hired.

This crash had no direct correlation to deregulation. Deregulation was not about safety or the stupidity of pilots. This crash was about incompetence, and unprofessionalism among several parties. Quit making excuses for them.

Yeah how about this one?

Anybody how to know a 'soft field' takeoff in a 737-200? Ah that's all right, jets are just "marginal costs with wings" as Prof Kahn once said...

No, especially not that one. That was caused by idiot pilots.

The best thing about deregulation is it allowed everyone to fly.

The worst thing about it is it allowed everyone to fly.

Seek help. You get more and more bitter ever day. Please take your meds bitter old man .

Why slaquer?? Because I disagree with you and the author of the regulation that allowed your airline to exist? And your lack of pensions and work rules to put downward pressure on my wages and QOL over the years?? Are you defending that???

I'll bet you'll cheer the guy who tries to bring on cabotage.....c'mon of course you will......

the sad part with this, is the cat's out of the bag...

I can't get onto a light rail, a commuter bus, a train, or even a taxi cab with out it being either fully regulated, or fully government run... yet when I fly, it's a free for all, race to the bottom with a cost cutting fiesta! Oddly, airplanes cost a lot more to buy and operate than any of those other method of "public" transportation... doesn't make any sense.

I will, if you look those that were hired between 1970 and 1990. I met a pilot who spent almost 10 years riding sideways at a major. He wasn't the only one. It's an 18+ yr. upgrade at AMR right now.

Pilots that are willing to work under the offered conditions will be hired.
