Many of my friends who are excellent pilots don't want to work for a major airline simply because the pay is too low, and those who do work for a major airline have a second job to compensate for the miserable starting salaries. I'm not sure that the de-regulation of the Airlines, by Ronald Reagan, was a good idea. Any thoughts on that?Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577646843558273304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-21746987517144397532011-05-17T08:37:48.980-07:002011-05-17T08:37:48.980-07:00Thank you Jun!!!Thank you Jun!!!Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-10929777030141323422011-05-17T08:33:44.929-07:002011-05-17T08:33:44.929-07:00I will do my best to learn how to fly in the near ...I will do my best to learn how to fly in the near future not to regret future.Thank you for kind word,Karlene san.You have a great day:))take care of you and your family!!Junhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469295543816584784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-56701273520818006552011-05-17T07:09:09.634-07:002011-05-17T07:09:09.634-07:00YES!

There will not be enough to fly for the majors and the commuters. The only determination is whether or not they stay until 65. I think this had a huge role in extending the retirement age. Those in the military are not leaving... the pay and benefits are better. Yes... check out the numbers. I actually posted Delta's on a post.

Pilot schools all over the world have been saying this for years and years, but far too many newly qualified pilots are not in gainful employment flying planes with huge debts to pay off for their training. The huge cost puts lots of potential pilots off training with no prospects of a job at the end of it :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-5659249138711901032011-05-16T17:21:18.164-07:002011-05-16T17:21:18.164-07:00Hi Debbie Dan Downer... haha.

Yes, there are many pilots, like yourself, that are outstanding candidates and didn't begin with the ab-initio schools. Your excellence at the connection carrier is great.

I'm going to see a check there too. :)Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-19510695767361579732011-05-16T17:15:05.333-07:002011-05-16T17:15:05.333-07:00Thank you so much Heather.

I also know there are a lot of pilots who have been stuck at regionals for the past few years and are eyeing the majors. There is such a huge applicant pool competing for just a few slots at Delta, which makes me wonder about the chances of actually getting hired there in the next decade or so. Yes there are going to be lots of retirements from DAL, however I can almost guarentee there will be more than enough applicants. So my question is...why would Delta want to hire someone who had just graduated a few years prior and been at a regional for just a few years versus people who have been there building time since 9/11 when everything went downhill?<br />Dan<br />(sorry, didn't mean to be the debbie downer on all this :) )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-54380571452653911072011-05-16T09:33:57.911-07:002011-05-16T09:33:57.911-07:00So...

I wonder if getting ratings in a non-schooling environment will make a difference? I feel like my training was pretty good compared to many folks I've talked to that attended one of these schools, but overall I understand why they would prefer to see that.Daniel Salleenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-44932617615527562212011-05-16T09:26:55.820-07:002011-05-16T09:26:55.820-07:00I love that you're helping so many break into ...I love that you're helping so many break into the industry Karlene!
