We'll all move on one of these days, hopefully. Most of us have connections or know people at majors, none of them guarantee anything. ASA/XJT is my bread and butter currently..... I do care how things go around here for myself and all my friends at both XJT & ASA.

Thanks for the kind words

just hire new ones out of school. There is as much chance that a mechanic would stay at a regional as there is a pilot when a mainline position is offered.

Spoken like somebody that has no clue about A&P's.

That's almost as asinine as saying "why don't you just hire pilots right out of flight school at DAL"?

And nope, I'm NOT equating a pilot to a mechanic. But to think a guy coming right out of his A&P training is ready to turn wrenches right away is ignorant. Because just like a lot of jobs, the gap between theoretical/academic and practical application is pretty big.

I normally never respond to any of the boards I read. But this one needs a response. I am a former Delta and AA, line maintenance A&P with IA and avionics tech form DFW (14yr Delta and 5yrs AA) and now an XJT /FO with five plus years. With my thirty years of aviation experience (started in 1978). It takes years of experience to be competent as both a pilot and mechanic. All aspects of the operation relate to experience as proven by operations where ever we all go. This industry has turned to ******************** due to greed and the lowest bitter. I have seen this industry decline at a rapped pace, all for greed by both management and employee groups.
For this all to change, the blinders by most employees need to come off and those that have unions need to get involved. The bean counters have taken control. It’s time to take control back.

We are playing checkers.

We are playing checkers.

They are playing chess,

They play with live pieces and futures

I agree. We unfortunately work for the typical all American company where money trumps everything else, especially loyalty.

This new greed is evil and uncaring. Stockholders and bonuses are the only consideration. Employees are simply a line item on a balance sheet.

I'm getting out as soon as I can. And thanks, I won't let the door hit me in the a$$

They are playing chess,

Or Russian Roulette.

Take control back? From whom? The changes have been brought by deregulation and the free market. So tell me, Stalin, what do you suggest?

Back in "the day" there were also fewer pilots, fewer people flying, etc. If you get your wish, we may all be out of jobs, but the jobs remaining are wonderful.

As has been said 1,000,000 times on here, be careful what you wish for.
