It is the same thing that the airlines are doing today: cannibalizing
all the instructors and worrying later about where the next
generation of pilots is going to come from. You wonder if the
airlines will reach the point where Germany was, trying to win the
war, so to speak, with just one pilot.
The airline situation is going to the dogs. It's actually getting to
the point now between the airlines, the FAA, and ATC, that I really
don't want my family to fly any more.


There's a couple I definitely wouldn't let my family on, though I sometimes
have to position on them, I really don't like it.

Yeah, it's getting a bit hairy out here with some of the carriers.
Of course the government will solve everything with this new "passengers
Bill of Rights" thing they just pushed through. :-))

1. You have the right to be strip searched.
2. You have the right to be delayed for hours as little old ladies
are wanded by the TSA.
3. You have the right to drink a fifth of Vodka that you can't carry
on the plane.
4. You have the right to take off your shoes and put them through the
X-Ray machine (odor eaters are discouraged)
5. You have the right to feel like a criminal if you forget to take
you cell phone out before going through the metal detector.
6. You have the right to be "on time" an hour later than you were
scheduled to be.
I'm sure I'm missing a few here...

I believe he's talking about the ever declining standards in pilot
training and the ever increasing irresposibility of management.
This is not true of all airlines, but suffice it to say, you get what
you pay for..
