Seen on another Board-Tragic Airline Safety Training Deficiencies Caused by Greed a

[WayBack]

I hope you fly better than you write. We are all doomed.

I hope your reading and comprehension skills are better than your flying.

This guy is using a current situation as an excuse to try and make his future a little brighter. Sorry sack that he it.

Nine posts tearing down a fellow pilot and ZERO discussing the topic of the letter. Is it any wonder why pilots are their own worst enemies?

1. Microsoft Word and other advance word processing programs, not to mention an English Comp class, are available for those who wish to improve their writing skills. There are also many websites which offer assistance.

2. It's a good have letters supportive of pilots written to Congressional representatives. Yes, even if they aren't Pulitzer Prize winners. The alternative is to have Congress read only the company's point of view.

3. That said, I seriously doubt we'll see a return to Airline Regulation in this country since it is akin to nationalizing the airlines aka socialism. We're a free market economic system and should continue to do so. This, however, doesn't mean we shouldn't have government oversight. The FDA regulates quality and health in the food industry so it isn't unreasonable to expect a similar government agency setting standards for public safety in the aviation industry. Establishing effective minimum flight time and training qualifications for flying airliners to protect the public is completely reasonable.

4. When we fight each other instead of adopting a "Band of Brothers" (and Sisters, of course), we only hurt ourselves. I know these forums consist mostly of people who want vent their frustration, but we would be better off with more collaboration. If some wants to write a letter supportive of pilots to their Congressman then we should help them, not crap all over them.

He isn't talking about re-regulation. His talking about a national seniority list.

Letters like the one above do more harm to the profession than they do good. I believe that is why everyone is attacking the guy.

Had he asked for input before sending a half baked, poorly written "postulation", he may have had more support.

and the fact that he's using camouflage to deliver the message.

Horrible idea. I want nothing to do with a national seniority list so that one person's selfish needs can be met. And re-enroll in kindergarten....you could use the grammer lessons. Study nouns and verbs to start. Continue with basic sentence structure. It MIGHT help you communicate with adults some day.

Another pilot gave this to me. He had written it to his Congressman.
He said if I agree to send it along to my Senators and Congressman.
I have to agree. I thought those here that travel with us should know our feelings on the subject of airline safety and the obvious training deficiencies at the bottom level. If you agree, send it on with our blessing.

There is no room for error and debate in the front office when it comes to safety, when our family and children are riding along with us.
An airline flight is not supposed to be an E-Ticket Ride with a Sudden Tragic Stop at the end. It is not suppose to end your loved ones lives.


Dear Congressman__________________,

I have a thought that I have postured and has been accepted by all the Major and Domestic Regional Feeder Pilots I have talked to.

It is an idea all these pilots, experienced and low time, accept and approve of, and seems to be in the best overall interest financially in the airline industry.

It would curtail the very large operating costs of maintaining two and sometimes three or more redundant management groups to run the outside contracting regional pilot groups.

It would in the end as well increase safety for the consumer in spades.

Keep in mind most of the last few years of airline tragedies has been played out in the Domestic Regional Feeder Pilot Groups.

It is a simple idea that I believe industry investors would see an increase in their market share values. And the American Citizens would see a huge increase in their public safety in air travel.

The idea is meant to protect the American consumer from the Bait and Switch played out on our Citizens daily of buying a ticket on a Major Airline expecting to get a Highly Experienced Major Airline Flight Crew, and instead getting a ticket to fly with low experienced pilots of a contracting regional airline feeder who's total aggregate amount of flights as a industry whole make up over 50% of the daily domestic flight market share where usually a low time pilot goes to get a job only as a stepping stone to obtain the entry level experience to get hired at a major airline.

This idea postured as a run on sentence for clarity, to show the ideas interlocking linkage, as well as keep your interest.

The United States Law Makers should force the major airlines to absorb the regionals with a national seniority list below the major airline level which the regional pilots will be very happy in that they know they will get somewhere someday and in so doing the regional pilots will be under the experienced eye of the major airlines training departments so the passengers will feel safe and secure knowing they are not being bait and switched thinking they are buying a ticket to be flown by the experienced major airline group of pilots only to find out they are actually being flown by the poor inexperienced low time regional pilot group and in so doing the afore mentioned, the majors will not be able to side step the liability for their regional operations crashes and the experienced laid off pilots will be absorbed back into the ranks as captains of their regional brethren acting as experienced mentors to their skill development.

No law or regulation put forth by any other arm of the government would do so much good for all in this industry and greatly benefit the Safety of our American Citizen Flying Public

This entire paragraph is one sentence (according to the author). Really?!

You guys are obviously falling for it.

 

[hmmm]

You know some of you guys are real idiots. No wonder some of you guys run of the runway because you can't seem to read performance numbers while trying to look cool making soft landings while wasting runway. And here thinking it makes you look cool talking smack about other people without reading.

I didn't write this. READ. It said in the header I saw it on another board and copied it here. Dipshyts.

Man FI constant poster pilots .......

If true, then it'd be better to attack the letter for the reasons you mentioned rather than nitpick about grammar and spelling. The poor construction of the letter is one thing, but what the author is trying to say is much more important since it could do more harm to the profession as you mentioned.

Why are you surprised by this? If half these guys were as smart as they believed they were, they wouldn't be flying for the airlines. They'd be using their brain elsewhere.
