Emirates... regional pilots no longer qualified to work for us

[labbats]

Dude you have almost 1300 posts and still fall for flamebait.

I'll go back to flight instruction before going to work and live other there...

Don't worry - they probably wouldn't take you anyway.

Why the f$#K would I want to fly an airplane that when it's pitot/static system is compromised, it's sidestick becomes useless and I am forced to fly it in turbulence with only trim and rudder, which snaps off the tail when too much force is applied?

I'll fly a heavy airbus when somebody kidnaps me, cuffs me to the seat, and I wake up at FL350.

Have at it hoss.

Boeings brake apart in turbulence, too. Nice try though, the A380 is still a nice airplane.

That minimum will be erased here in the next few years....

The attrition sh*t storm that is coming will effect everybody....

Right you are. When I was down there in '06 4 out of 6 candidates were RJ driver (CA + FO). Supply and demand, simple as that.

That sounds like a little SJS there....

I was thinking the same. Your diagnosis doctor does seem correct. Accute SJS's for sure. Now we just need to have him come in, take behind the airport and beat the hell out of him. LOL

I garantee you that every one of you regional pilots would jump at the chance to get on at a major even with the condition that you would only fly Airbus a/c.

Nope! Not that I am one of them (soon might be however), but there are many regional Pilots that make at or just above 100k a year. They have a great QOL and 3-4 vaction slots a year.

So why leave and go to a major where you'll make 40k your first year? On top of that it might take you 7-10 years to regain the money you lost. Then on top of that dangle on a bottom of a seniority list. Most of the top 3rd pilots at regional airlines won't go anywhere.

For some it doesn't matter if its a airbus or boeing. Its more the QOL and being happy where you are.

B2B,
Who is your employer?

Not if you could fly the A-380. That would be awesome.

for about a week.

 

[DOVPILOT]

I was told that the 55 tonnes has always been on there application form it you got the time put it down, it not don't worry about, it's just another application. Don't let go' ol' rusty tromebone scare you....LOL

Like you guys went to "The Academy" or "The Harvard of the skies" NOT to fly heavies someday!

Sorry, I went to a state college in my hometown. Don't know WTF you're talking about.

From what I understand he is a regional guy.
