Endeavor can't fill a class!

[General Lee]

It's precisely attitudes like yours that's destroying this industry. Blame it on management. Sure they are the ones that pull the trigger, but you don't have to load the dam gun for them. I see very little concern for this profession in the future by mainline pilots and the unions. What is going to attract new pilots into this industry? I sense that you're laughing about the struggles in the regional sector, and that you think a mainline job is everything, but one has to start somewhere. It's all about balance, and right now it's way out of balance. Furthermore, comparing DCI growth and the lack of at mainline is apples to oranges. During that time there were still incentives for people to enter this industry. Again, it's all about balance.

Oh come on now. DL pilots don't control your fate. You negotiate on your own behalf. Oil is high and making your 50 seaters inefficient. New hiring and fatigue rules have affected you too. None of that is because of mainline pilots. The legacies are more profitable due to fees and can buy RJs and farm them out to the lowest bidder. Your part of the industry is in turmoil, and if you don't like it, you can try something else. Don't blame people that don't have a say in the matter. Luckily there will be retirements, but it's starting to sound like you still won't be satisfied. Oh well. The high cost of training is pushing people away from starting careers, along with more UAV pilots at the military. There will be a shortage, which should be good for everyone here now. The union can only do so much. The companies themselves should be more concerned, and should be the ones offering scholarships.



Bye Bye---General Lee

I'll put my credibility against his any day. General Lee is not a Delta pilot. Simple reason... he lacks the maturity to pass the interview. No Delta pilot would act like he does in public. He can sling all the mud he wants, but he knows everyone here agrees with me.

Bye Bye--

I assumed he was a paid troll of flightinfo.

A shortage may provide the leverage for better compensation, but may also degrade the quality of life at all levels. Remember it's all about money. Furthermore, how can you claim that it's only management? They offer just what will pass to the pilot group, and dangle carrots in front of you too. I gaurentee you that little or no thought was given to the plans mainline had for the regional sector and how it would further destroy this industry. It's every man for themselves. Sure they are adding some jets, and there will be some retirements, but nothing is being done to attract new pilots. It's sad that you feel the only answer is "if you don't like it leave"

 

[Clutch]

We've already determined he's not a pilot. He's a 25 year old web board troll with too much time on his hands. Stop listening to that spooge.

This coming from a guy that supposed worked for Comair.

Amazing.

Private lee is sure acting like an immature little poo say. Yes, Delta pilots spend their lives terrorizing the regional boards at flightinfo with 19,000 posts about the same old crap. Right? Really? Hang it up already you poser. Box Office has it right and you are irrelevant. Nobody believes your bovine scatology.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

Um, I dunno. I've gotten some really uncalled-for backlash on DL jumpseats simply because of my place of employment. Some of those ATL goons are real pieces of work. Wouldn't want to sit beside some of them for more than 1.5 hours, and even that was a challenge. I can definitely see Genny Lee being a DL pilot. Definitely.

There is not one single Colgan captain with seven years seniority that is more senior than a 15 year mesaba guy.

 

[WMUSIGPI]

Nope but they are all more senior than former Mesaba captains with 9 years. And 9 years at Colgan does put you at or beyond 13 year Mesaba.

It'll get better guys and gals. Then it'll be worse again.

I agree, problem is the time at the top is much shorter than the time at the bottom. Maybe it's because it's so dam hard to determine if you've hit bottom
