United opens flight school, airlines find creative solutions as industry faces looming pilot shortage
Fox Businees ^ | 01/30/22

United just welcomed its first class of students, which is made up of 80% women or people of color.

This comes right after they got rid of the unvaxxed.

Yes, my SIL is a pilot, and seems like nearly all of his cohorts are fairly similar in their political leanings.

Will they teach landing, or just how to fly?

When did they drop commercial airline pilot qualification hours from 2000 to 1500?

I have flown with people who were there only based on a box to be checked whether it be color or race.

They shouldn’t have been there. Terrible pilots and never got better no matter how many extra hours were GIVEN to them in the sim or additional check rides but they were always passed.

Good question.

Maybe around the same time as these tyrannical $hot requirements?

Glad? Not flying anymore is one of the best benefits of retirement!

I don’t have to be screened, go through customs or sit in a cigar tube with who knows what in the air, in a seat that competes for a torture device, even in business and first class, ever again and it is a blessing.

BA and KLM had some of the best seats of the bad ones though.
