Good news from Phoenix Channel 10

[GypsyPilot]

No, one of the pilots was asking this in response to the growth slowdown. That a lot of guys came here for the quick growth, quick movement. (I didn't, I went there first bite). But for those guys, the pilot asked what they planned on doing since United and Delta are offering a lot more to fly the same plane to basically do the same job. That's what the CEOs response was to.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks.

Well, I hope he enjoys the staffing issues.

If what he says is true, I think I'd rather sell insurance.

Was just watching TV (channel 10 in Phoenix) and apparently the big story for the morning show tomorrow is.... (drumroll)

"The airlines need pilots. Tune in to learn how you can get started flying here in the valley!"

When that preview came on the other night, my wife had a good laugh!

Sadly, all they have to do is leave the pay alone and drop the mins from 4,000 to 1,500 like JetBlue's minimums. Staffing problem solved. There's no shortage of regional FOs who want VA, despite the growth slowdown.

Laudable idea for sure, but in my opinion it would fail.

1) Non-aviation people do not understand what it took to get to such a low-paying job to begin with.
2) Non-aviation people have their own demons with respect to work, and they will never really see flying in the 121 world as actual work.
3) The First-Year-Pay argument alone would consume any reasonable discourse with non-aviation people, assuming you got past items one and two.

What you need to make it work is a good love story to add to it, lol. I don't think all those doctor shows would be successful without the love story in them.
