Is this the future soon here?

I know this is in German but you can set English subtitles. This is from a German news magazine. Basically it's what Lufthansa does for pilots. They don't hire much off the street anymore. They own a flight school at Phoenix Goodyear and train pilots from 0 to airbus time. They pretty much own these kids for their career.

Can you translate the subject because it seems like it is written in German.

The hard road to flight license.

Makes an interesting contrast to the American system of indentured servitude at regional carriers, with no guarantee of payoff in the end.

Why would the majors invest in something like this? There is not, nor will there be a shortage of qualified applicants.

There is no shortage of qualified applicants, YET. Give it time. As regionals shrink and military applicants dwindle due to budget cuts and UAVs, it's inevitable. The numbers simply do not support a gluttony of pilots, moving forward.

I'm not so sure the title of the thread is in English.

They probably will do this, and they won't hire their regional pilots so that there is someone to fly the regionals for cheap. They will just hire kids with 0 hours to come pass over us

Holy Cr@p! Did you read/google translate the comments and replies to this video? This makes FI look like little girls fighting over candy in peace-and-harmony land!

My favorite one:

Mann, Peter, geh doch einfach ganz ganz tief in den Wald, wichs Dir noch mal so richtig sch[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]?[/FONT]n einen auf Deine geliebte Natur ab, und stirb! Du nervst langsam!

Now, that's funny! Bwahahahahahahahahaha! :laugh:

LH never hired off the street to mainline if my memory serves me correctly (at least the last 20 years). All ab initio training was done through their flight school. The selection process is/was quite brutal consisting of a series of aptitude tests.
