Captain Arrogant Rose peddles is eager to escape. For those who had the privledge to work with tool time rose. Just to have a idea on how many people dislike tool time rose. Please "quote" with a +1 or a +10. 10 being beyond the tool scale. Thank you.
Delta will eventually have to shift the flying because of the lack of pilots. I don't buy into this having to be the 2nd lowest carrier at xjet. Who else is left to take to on that much flying?
Skywest is chasing the very same dragon, QOL is the first victim, pay is next, chimp has a mini chubb. Pay and QOL is as bad, if not worse than other places since there are no protections, FARs are all you have, the Skrew Skeduling cry of "its legal" will ring in your ears, every duty day. Coupled with the 16 hour day for guarantee, means you will make less than minimum wage.SkyWest......
So how long before Bendover turfs another one?
With it taking 100 hours of OE to get the pilots trained they must be arriving on the short bus!
I hope that doesn't happen. However, Pinnacle had issues before the new training program came into play. How many airframes were bent or destroyed before Colgan or Mesaba Pilots came on property?
Also I think you're exaggerating a little about 100 hours of OE. I'm not saying that there hasn't been a few, but I haven't heard of any. In any case it isn't all of them. A lot of the Colgan pilots haven't flown for a long time, and that is adding to increased OE. I will also say that after witnessing OE at other airlines, including mainline, and my own experience at Mesaba, Pinnacle/Endeavor OE instructors don't conduct OE in the same manor. And it seems that they all do it differently without any standardization. The training managers have been working hard at changing some of these philosophies, but as the saying goes, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Anyway what I'm trying to say is it's recognized that some of the problem is with the instruction and not just with the pilots
I still see people running to get airplanes on time. Baffles me.
