Hello!

It may be written in a stupid way, but the contents of this article is not entirely wrong. The company I fly for is now down to a crewfactor of one. When a colleague calls in sick, the plane stays on the ground. All the FOs but one have gone to the airlines and it is only a matter of time when the last one will leave. Crew scheduling has become very difficult because many of the remaining pilots are over 60 and no two pilots of 60 or above are allowed to fly together. Business aviation has zero appeal to most pilots these days and I myself am seriosly cosidering (after 30 years on the job) to do something different for my remaining years. Almost everything else is better.

Regards
Max
