FAA Pilots

What IF the FAA says to all Commercial Pilots. You will all become FAA Pilots and your airline will hire you from the FAA Pool. You would not be a Delta, Mesa or Alaska Pilot, you would be an FAA Pilot. There could then be a national seniority number that could be transfered to any airline, Training and sim would be standard. No individual airline training and to top it off No breaking Fed Regs because we would be Feds and you can't break your own rules. Also no need for Unions and a Retirement Pension?????

Give it a thought.....FAA has with ATC????

What a great idea! This has worked out so well for the NATCA controllers. What, with the massive cuts in the new payscale and draconian working conditions that were forced on them by the government. How can you go wrong!?! [/sarcasm]

A national senority list will never happen. There is no way to get everyone on board and it wouldn't be as fair. I would love to be able to change companies and stay at my current payscale. I also want to win the lottery, live on the beach, end world hunger, etc etc. More often than not in life we don't get what we want.

So what happens when Airline "A" doesn't want to Hire Dumbass pilot Mr. Jones?

I do believe that airlines should require the minimum of an ATP.

I also think that if ALPO sets a nationwide pay scale for each type of aircraft.
If you fly a 737 then this is your pay.....No matter what airline you work at. And this thing with getting paid $40/hr the first year and $120 the last? Makes no sense. Just because someone has been there longer means that they get paid 300% more? Same Job except the senior pilot only works less, holidays off, better schedules, QOL etc....

If you fly a CRJ here or there you should be paid the same. This would put an end to companies whipsawing the pilots, and put the emphasis back to an effective management group to make the $$$.

What IF .....

Good grief! What if my aunt had nads, then she would be my uncle.

 

[CoolSidePillow]

what if they invented transporters.....
what if they stopped letting geeks become pilots.....
what if we have a revolution and took the goverment away and made a real democracy.....
what if they made F/As be hot again.....
what if they shut down all the pilot factories and stopped flooding the industry with these morons......
what if the person who posted this just shut up

Castro did it.. not only for the pilots.. but for everyone else as well...

 

[c-dub]

This is stupid.

 

[belchfire]

National seniority list. Not bad. Then we could all get paid $350,000 a year whatever we fly, we could all have Christmas at home with our hot, willing and demure wives, rivers would flow with beer, the sky blue, the grass green and God is in his Heaven and all is right in the...

Put the pipe down and walk away...too many PFt'ers would get bent because they had to pay for their senority!

Hehehehehe

I thought this was about EAA pilots, which we all should be. From their web site coverage of Oshkosh...

Dear Friends,

It's Saturday (day three) of Oshkosh and my fifth day here. Sorry I haven't written sooner but, I have found that working as a volunteer AND bringing your ultralight, and flying it regularily, and going to campsite parties and drinking beer etc., until the wee hours, cuts down on my writing time. Unfortunately I also sprained my ankle badly just before I left home and that has cut down on my sightseeing here at the convention. Maybe when I get home I'll have it x-rayed. I remember my friend GC, who brought the first plans-built Sky Pup to Oshkosh with a cast on his leg, hobbling on crutches, and flew it during the convention.

Sounds like fun, bust up your ankle, go fly and drink all week with your friends anyway....we are all just one busted medical away from joining him.
