No Mins at Pinnacle or Eagle?

[GreatView]

Don't worry. Hiring mins haven't gotten as low as then can get yet. Next step is for airlines to hire 0 time non-pilots and train them ab initio.

Hoover,

Funny that you mention that. Before I left my last regional, a friend of mine told me that the CP told her in recurrent that they were heading to High Schools to start looking for future Ab Initio candidates (no joke)....

I guess if they could convince them to go to college, get a degree THEN get them to sign a training contract for several years, they figure that the program will be successful. The CP in mention said they are TRYING to be proactive about a pilot shortage they project in 1-2 years.

You may have been joking when you posted this but it looks as if you aren't the only one thinking of it as well.

The "ipod using, spiky hair having, Doc Marten wearing, backpack toting regional FO" cliche has been beat to DEATH to the point it is old and busted.

Please find a new cliche.

Thank you.

Say what??

As you may already know, that scenario happens in other countries around the world. Unfortunately, it's not much of a stretch to imagine it happening here.
