Meh. They'll still figure out a way to say they need concessions and keep our schedules...and more importantly, time away from home s***.

The shortage will kick in just about in time for the infrastructure and technology to allow for single pilot airfreight ops which will eventually lead the way to single pilot operations in selected part 121 situations.

I was on a panel where I was asked about this a few weeks ago, where I responded by citing United's pre-pandemic flight school purchase as evidence that airlines will simply be forced to fund training on their end.

A new brand of indentured servitude, one supposes.

I'd probably take slave to a company over slave to debt.

I don’t like either; the former is going to be quite beholden to the employer, which destroys the quality of the job.

No pilots is better than one pilot.

You forgot the hand waving. There’s usually plenty of that going on.

Nah the Chinese have been doing it for years... can’t pass training? Well you get to be a ramper for a career according to the 99 year contract you signed with us.

Ah shoot here we go again.

Good thing we are gonna nationalize the industry, right?

 

[Skåning]

The people that write these articles are utterly clues in regards to staffing and where mainline pilots come from. There won’t be ever be shortage of pilots at “career” airlines wanting to make six figures. Regunals is another story.

It's only a matter of time. AA is going to declare bankruptcy before the end of the year just so they can screw labor, and United won't be far behind. The ULCCs are going to be merged at gunpoint with the big 3. The writing is on the wall. If you disagree with me I'm going to insult you repeatedly and say you're a pollyanna.

Exactly. There's the handwriting on the wall.
