You and Gatt hit the nail with this one.20 years ago at the commuters
it was the same situation. NASA did a survey
and found that 20% of airline pilots under the age of 40 were
planning to leave the industry. It is fun to joke but we do have to
wonder what it will be like when the airlines stop attracting
dedicated people.


Today's cab drivers and convenience store clerks are tomorrows airline
pilots. Shame they can't speak English. The captain's briefing to the
passengers will have to be pre-recorded, or broadcast from a ground station.
