No way in hell do I want to be on an airliner where the co-pilot is a fucking student who is paying the airline for the privilege of getting flying lessons. With blissfully unaware paying passengers sitting in the back.
You can't make this shit up. Why is the FAA letting them do that?

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Are you listening, Jon Stewart?
ReplyDeleteYeah. Have you looked at FOs on commuters lately? The boys look barely old enough to shave, and you know they don't have much more than a freshly printed commercial multi & burning desire. They're paid squat. Apparently they have to opportunity to get paid less than $0. I'm not sure that's a safety issue in itself, just the economy & company taking advantage of the situation.
ReplyDeleteHR 3371 looks like it will pass. Among other things, this will require an ATP certificate and 1500 hours to fly for a part 121 (airline) operation. The pilot mills are going to have to get really creative.
I haven't been on an airplane since 1971. I'd rather hitchhike with the word "victim" tattooed across my forehead than board a commercial flight.
ReplyDeleteHoly cats. I knew I didn't like flying...but hey, I had no idea how MUCH I was going to dislike it.
ReplyDeleteWhat part of FLIGHTLESS waterfowl do you not understand, heh!
ReplyDeleteActually, I am required to fly one time per year. I do it, but I don't like it, because I *know* that the gaunt pilot on the puddle-jumper that is my last leg probably is making minimum wage and might pass out from hunger in the middle of landing if I'm unlucky...
