Babbitt continues and states that even these “seasoned” pilots must use their collective knowledge and mentor the rest of the pilot group to enhance safety.
Surely this is what the FAA is actually there for?
So he expects seasoned pilots to do this out of the goodness of their heart while earning $40,000 per annum and getting a legal 5-6 hours sleep on a layover.
“This needs to become part of our professional DNA. If you’ve got experience and you’re not sharing it, you’re doing a disservice to our profession.”
And the FAA have done a total disservice to the industry by pandering to airlines profits instead of flight safety and allowing it to get into this state in the first place.
It's going to be interesting to see what happens but lets say I won't be surprised if the proposed legislation gets completely watered down.
