Pilot Shortage

[Flybet3]

Guess what, I started at more than that. I win.

For a "grown" man you sure do act like a retard.

I have family members that drove trucks for a living and had nicer houses, boats and quality of life than ANY pilot I know this side of FedEx. Keep digging the hole, genius.

Like I said, log off, got to truck driving school and go drive a truck with the rest of the blue collar group. Keep trying to be right, you're still just another dumb ass complaining like a little bit** about the choices you made.

I have not once complained here about the choices I've made. I have simply said that I advise people to not pursue a career in aviation. It is not a sound financial decision. If you think that makes me "retarded", I can't help you.

Exactly what the AMA does for Docs.... keep the entry to med schools dificult.

Not sure you really have a handle on this AMA analogy. There are a LOT of Board-certified doctors out there making just over $100K, and many more at less than a 15-year NJA captain. Most doctors have seen a huge erosion in their compensation over the last 15 years.

If you want to talk about shortages, wait until you see how hard it is to find a primary care doctor here in the U.S. 5-10 years from now. It just doesn't pay.

But point taken...as a pax, I won't fly regionals anymore. It has nothing to do with the aircraft, it's the inexperienced crews.

The analogy is correct.

Reasons the need for compensation should be higher for Doctors is the same/similar reasons wages should be high for Pilots. Again see Wealth of Nations section of the Wages of Labor.

Part of the reason for the AMA is to protect Doctors compensation.

Aren't Jet Blue pilots "blue collar"?

This is a pilot board, stop dealing in reality, here the world revolves around pilots, over worked, under paid, under appreciated, not respected, and not recognized for being the only people at company who do any of the work that makes an aviation organization run.

Reality?

NumberCruncher said NJA couldn't afford the 2005 Pilot raises.... But reality is we did not get enough so we needed another raise in 2007.

Can raises in Willow Run be far behind?

 

[pilotyip]

already happened

Already did them, we are kind of the NJ of YIP, everyone on the field had to match us when we raised our pay, increased days off, all days off hard, full pay from the first day, per-diem advances, relocation allowances, tuition assistance, and no training contract. Well Ameristar couldn't get rid of their training contract, I wonder why? BTW no trouble filling our classes and grooming pilots for their next job at NJ. NJ seems to like them. We are proud of pilots who gone on to better jobs.
