Confessions of a regional jet pilot
This story needs to be repeated. It needs to be told over and over and over again, until something is really done to fix it! The more people know about it, the better the chance that that will actually happen! The manipulation of the regs made this possible. The Airline business needs fixing. Politicians and Management needs to be ashamed! (www.foxnews.com) Ещё...

it is a sad reality, but I guess once these young pilots get up in the air all that goes away :)
You would think so, but not right away. It takes a very long time in some cases for them to be able move up. In the meantime, they would be making more money at Mc Donalds!
This doesn't surprise me at all, but it is a great article
This seemed familiar as soon as I started reading it. That's because it was familiar. I'm certain if we go back a few months, we'll see this has been posted at least once before. The publication date was in February.
Still a good read.

Ticket prices? These young pilots are dedicated professionals and should be accorded the support they need to do their very best for the safety of the flying public!
Although the numbers can't be compared too closely, it's standard for new doctors to get paid relatively poorly and work long hours in their entry level positions as well. Young pilots similarly build up their experience in these lower pay positions before moving up to the coveted mainline spots. One might also argue that the low starting pay is intentionally done to help filter out people who are not truly dedicated to role.
Nonsense. It is just a way for those in charge to fill up their pockets at the expense of others! Medical schools have also been called to task on these same similar practices and have set a poor example at the expense of patients as well as the doctors!
However, when a doctor closes the door with his patient, he is only dealing with one life at a time. When the cockpit door gets closed, you are responsible for 50+ people at a time, 4 to 5 times a day.
