Meanwhile I get a call from a call center, doing a survey on behalft of GAMA (IIRC), how would you like a single crew cockpit in your - 25 aircraft ?
Dead silence on my end.... "helllllloooo?" - "you realize youŽre talking to a pilot".... "Umhhyeah, but weŽd put up data link and have experienced pilots available 24H to help"... "allright, were do you get experienced pilots, who wanna sit in a box, apart maybe from medically disqualified ones and where do you get EXPERIENCED people from after the last 2 man cokcpit is gone ?" Dead silence on their end.
This shortage (who apparently exists in the US, over here there is none) is the last time, the pilots can get something outta their jobs. Aviation - jobwise - will be dead as a dodo in a few years. Ask the checkin folks, excuse the FORMER check in people. Loaders will be gone next and then flight crew. Last to retire will be SAFA/FAA-Checker....maybe time to sent a CV...
