I have 7 flight on southwest this week. Haven’t even looked which plane. I’m not worried. There is abig difference between US pilots and their overseas counterparts
Correct. Every single pilot at my Airline has tremendous experience. Decades worth. I personally have over 17,000 hours and have flown dozens of different airplanes. Most of those hours have been in various jets. A large percentage of us have extensive military jet experience as well including Aircraft commander and a few test pilots too. We have 1 Space Shuttle Commander. The airline system in some other parts of the World is not as well developed or structured. And, there is way less collective experience in general. Europe and East Asia is first rate but some other places not so much. In fact, lots of Foreign Airlines seek out western trained pilots. (they prefer people from English Speaking countries). Americans, Canadians, Brits, Aussies, New Zealanders, etc.. Most large carriers have them. Emirates Airline has almost all exclusively ex-pats. And there’s a lot of us in the Far East as well at ANA, Cathay Pacific, JAL, etc..
