Love seeing this...... Thanks for sharing the article. Long time coming. Remember when pay was so low at the reginals that the crews had part time jobs at Starbucks! (Colgan air SIC /Bufalo NY accident) ... Most could not weather the low pay and left the industry and or went corporate. Then we have our Highly skilled HR "Team" who often float from industry to industry ( Health care, Management, Tech..etc)reeking  havoc and leaving dumpster fires at every turn while simultaneously juggling facebook posts while sending you minutia riddeled emails...

All of this coming home to roost.... You cant download exceptional fying skills within a 3 year upgrade  window sorry...

Alot of tribal knowledge transfered to fledgling aviators while sitting next to a seasoned captain for many years.

This will no longer happen. Two rookies now asking each other ...type1 or type2 decie? wait when did our holdover time start? at the time he started deicing us or upon completion? should we go outside and do a tactile exam? Inversion at 7,000 feet ? what about roll back Iceing????? MOMMY HELP!!!!!!

advice..... if weather is bad DRIVE.
