Yes, many of these problems can be fixed by more money better rosters etc etc, but that is not our (line pilots) action to initiate."
Well heres a new thought for you, those of you who are not being lured away from the regionals by the big jets, who say you are happy in your job and would stay for the extra $$$ WHY DON"T YOU OFFER THE OPTION TO YOUR MANAGMENT! Why cant you initiate??? Do something great for your struggling industry!
Training pilot this pilot turnover costs lots not only in $$$ but in hardwork and frustration to see a newly trained pilot leave so fast. But why should regionals pay lots of $$$ to pilots who all leave for the big airlines anyway and cost the company lots of $$$ in training that the pilot leaves with only to give to the big airline for nothing.
