100LL is 100% right, no more needs to be said!

Flechas,
I'll say to you again what everyone else has been telling you in your other posts....shut up until you are experienceing these issues first hand. You have no ground to stand on when you tell us your uneducated and outsiders opinion. If you want to LEARN something, we're all too glad to answer you. But in your under 1000 hour not-in-the-airlines-yet mind, you should listen. Again, less transmitter and more reciever. You reek of the type coming in today and giving everything up. I would like to thank you and all the other jellyfish for not even attempting to understand things. I'll bet you'll never cast a "no" vote in your life.

100LL. As my dad, an MD of over 35 years experience puts it "a doctor can only kill one person at a time". We can do much worse. Of course, even the doctors world is whittling away, as his malpractice insurance is over 70,000 bucks per year. And he hasn't a blemish in his practicing history! Sucks, don't it?
Anyway, let's have that whiskey now. I'll buy the first bottle, 'cos man do I need a drink tonight!
Come to think of it, I got on board ACA when 2500 hrs and 350 multi would get you a "thanks but no thanks" letter. This kind of makes a good point for your idea of raising standards to fly for an airline. Because the mins to get a job at ACA were so high, we HAD a tight, no nonsense group of pilots. But like you said, the joke is on us because the trend is for newer kids with little time. This is a MGT dream because these newer guys fall for anything and will stand for nothing.
Where does it put us and what can be done? Right where you said: we're screwed so let's have a drink. It was good while it lasted wasn't it?
