Roy Hudd: What part did you not understand. F/O´s with low hours, F/O´s who pay for their type rating or the fact that exprienced pilots fly at some of the airlines for less pay? I do agree in so much as to say, is this an ideal situation, no. But, it is a reality. This does not mean that inexperienced or badly trained pilots are up there flying planes. It just means that, in some airlines crew´s are getting less of a salary than maybe in other airlines. What are we going to do about it? That´s, what going on in the airline industry. But, I would be wary in assuming that this is a saftey issue. I would look more into the amount of hours and rest we are getting, congestion at major airports, slots, etc, etc.
