Low Timers are Finally Getting Mainstream Press

[OldTownPilot]

Back in the late 60's that was true. I'll concede that point as my being in error. However I'll point out that the whole of the industry, from technology to FAR's was very different. And if I recall, then, there was no mass increase of airline accident/incidents.

I take it you've never seen accident data from the 60's and 70's?

If you had you wouldn't have said that.

 

[jtrain609]

My bet is that most people that are going to be sharing a cockpit with you for hours on end won't argue with your choice of religion, either.

Nope! But while religion doesn't come up in the cockpit, discussions of low timers, how they're affecting operations, how they're doing, what we're doing wrong as a whole and what I'm doing wrong specifically is an extremely common conversation that I've found as has been met with frankness and honesty on the part of the captains. If I screw something up they've been pretty willing to tell me, and I appreciate that.

How in the world am I supposed to get better at what I'm doing without somebody else critiquing things from a perspective that I'm not seeing?

 

[RightSeatGirl]

Ohh brutha...Airline safety statistics are relative to the progression of technological development and the advancement of industry knowledge. Of course there were more accidents in the 60's and 70's...But comparatively the statistics were appropriate for the era. There were far more accidents, incidents in the 40's and 50's, 20's and 30's and so on. The spike in accidents of the period was directly related to a massive increase in industry volume. It was all relative.

 

[jtrain609]

Sigh....Pot kettle black. My BS is no more valid then yours. We disagree. I suggest we leave it at that.

Huh?

Oh right, internet forum, gotta dumb things down instead of taking the proper channels of attacking a persons data and the data that they use to compose their argument instead of the person. I forgot.

You're a poopy face.

(BTW You have yet to respond to my statement that there ARE metrics that identify safety besides crashes, and what safety encompasses. You haven't touched on that area, actually, and until we have some common ground to argue from, we're going no where. If you don't know how to do this, or are uninterested then that's fine, but until you actually respond to the points of my post, you're not really arguing, simply trying to spit in my face).

 

[X-Forces]

They are lowering the flight hour requirements for pilots from 1500 to 500, with only 50 of those hours in multi-engine planes.
Raising the mandatory retirement age for pilots from 60 to 65.
Partnering with flight schools to offer “accelerated” educational programs.

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but aren’t the most likely people to get into an accident in an automobile the young & inexperienced and the elderly? Is it really the best move to place those very demographics behind the wheel of a DC-10? Perhaps a better move to become more competitive when hiring would be to raise the starting salary from the $24,000 a year it sits at now? Essentially there is not really a shortage of pilots, just pilots that will work for that money when better money is available elsewhere.

Written by a person that doesn't have any idea about the history behind the "Age 60 retirement." If he did he wouldn't have made such a stupid statement.

I think it is safe to say that this guy doesn't really get it entirely. He tries to make some good points, but in the end it read like it was written by someone that has no in depth knowledge about the aviation industry, and was trying to take a stab at it.


Good attempt, poor execution.

lol - I'm enjoying this so much.

Let's start over.

Do you believe airplanes, and moving at 450 knots in a pressurized tin can at 37,000' is intrinsically and innately safe to the human condition. Not, "Oh well the automation makes it safe," or, "but we make it safe!" Do you think that it is a good idea to put a human being hurtling at 450 knots in a pressurized tin can at 37,000' is a safe idea if the modern safeguards we have in place are gone?

Can you answer that for me please, then we can move on with the argument.

You're the one making it personal bub, not me. I don't agree with you, period. I respect your opinion, but I don't share it. Getting mad about it and calling me names or labeling my points as BS is not going to motivate me to stay engaged with you on this topic.

And to answer your question. No. I also think there is no way to ever be safe anywhere at any time. You can die sitting in your easy chair from a meteor falling through your roof same as biting it in an airplane crash. One is more likely. But safety...I really don't prescribe to it as being all comfy and cozy. We do what we do due to choice. Driving to the store is far more dangerous then flying for 2 hours on a jet flown by a 250 hr pilot. Which one is more likely to result in accident or injury...

We are debating something that has such a low probability of resulting in catastrophe, low time pilots or not, that the whole debate is just rhetoric...It's just plain silly.

 

[jtrain609]

You're right, nevermind, you're never actually going to respond to what I'm saying anyways and continue to avoid my extremely direct questions towards you.

How's the weather where you are, maybe you're interested in that discussion. It's kinda cloudy here, with no chance of dropping days or being released from reserve.

 

[Tram]

You're a poopy face..

Ohh.. snap...

Zinnnngggg...

Burrrrrnnnnnnn......

 

[jtrain609]

I'm just angry I'm not flying a bigger airplane.

Can't help with that one...I'm a line holder. And I think I did answer your last direct question....directly.

 

[jtrain609]

Where? I see no point/counter point. Maybe I don't know how to read, but it looks to me like you avoided my points like the plague instead of responding to them. Here! I'll give you another shot to another question that you did not answer.

Let's start over.

Do you believe airplanes, and moving at 450 knots in a pressurized tin can at 37,000' is intrinsically and innately safe to the human condition. Not, "Oh well the automation makes it safe," or, "but we make it safe!"

Can you answer that for me please, then we can move on with the argument (which actually means discussion, BTW).

If you're unwilling to find some common ground, by first answering the root question at hand, then the discussion goes nowhere.

Good! I see we can take it from here now that you finally gave me a clear answer instead of saying things like, "Pot...kettle...black."

If flying in an airplane isn't naturally a safe condition to be in, then something has got to mitigate the risk, correct? Automation can't do that. I know that we look at automation as a black box that knows everything, but it doesn't do much except for simplify the minute tasks that we used to take time to do so we can focus our attention on more important things, like making sure the airplane doesn't run into anything.

It is US, and NOT the computer that helps to mitigate that risk and NOT the automation, you'd have to agree of course? A computer only does what it's told, and if an operator doesn't know what they're doing (though lack of experience), then safety is reduced the risk isn't mitigated, correct?

We still on the same page?

EDIT: Sorry I didn't see your earlier response, either you edited it or I missed it entirely. I could have sworn you said a lot less than that, but I've been wrong before! It's no reason to fly off the handle, you could have simply pointed out where I missed what you said.

 

[Velocipede]

Er...huh! Your point is lost on me. And there has never before been 250 hour pilots in the right seats of airline cockpits so like it or not....there are no viable statistics available yet to make a solid argument.

Actually, RSG, European airlines like Lufthansa have had ab initio hiring systems since the '60s. They hire guys off the street and send them to Arizona to get their licenses. At about 350 total flight hours they're in the right seat of a 737 tooling about internationally.

Lufthansa's safety record is pretty impressive.

 

[Velocipede]

I think it is safe to say that this guy doesn't really get it entirely. He tries to make some good points, but in the end it read like it was written by someone that has no in depth knowledge about the aviation industry, and was trying to take a stab at it.

This is the point I always try to make about journalists. They know a little bit about a lot of subjects. If they can't get aviation stories right (something all of us know about) how accurate do you think they are on the war, health insurance, the economy, etc.?

So you're saying you want 350 hour pilots sitting next to you in the 737 with the current United States system of training?

Because that's what you should assert if the record is so good.

The training is NOTHING like it is here. You have to take the system of training into account in this discussion or the conclusions are void.

Yeah but it wouldn't have been nearly as colorful of a response then the word "no" in every known language and dialect now would it. You have to admit, if you can get past your irritation with me, it was kind of funny...

Continuing on...I'll divert to my earlier point. This gets talked about as if RJ's were falling out of the sky every day. I don't know this statistic exactly so I'm just add libbing a bit here but what is the difference between a person being 90% safe on a jet with a high time crew flying it or being 89% safe riding on one with a low time crew? Accidents are so rare and unlikely any more that it just completely deflates the necessity of being worried about low-timers really changing the safety dynamic...I just don't understand the reasoning behind getting all up in arms about this. Air travel is still the safest way to go...Hell..depending on the neighborhood it's safer then walking! And the introduction of low time pilots into the industry on a large scale basis just isn't going to effect the actual statistics enough to become worried about it.

Not very.

But you know what they say, in the land of the blind one eye is king!
