November 29, 20178 yr @UKMustangFan look. American Airlines glitch causes pilot shortage on thousands of flights over holidays | News | theadvocate.com No pilots for 15,000 flights this holiday season, good grief, how do you do this.
November 30, 20178 yr A lot of pilots are not going into this part of the industry anymore. Whole bunch of factors, but when you can fly for UPS, FedEx, or any other courier and make great money with good benefits why in the world would you want to be in the airlines where the pay is mediocre and the benefits aren't what you'd expect. This isn't the glamorous era of PanAm anymore, airports are just glorified bus stations these days. Kind of makes me hope that the hyperloop concept works out, it would be nice to have alternatives for rapid transit across the US.
November 30, 20178 yr Flew American yesterday. Stewardess announced it was the captains last American flight after 27 years. Dude looked young. I was wondering if he was going elsewhere to work after getting his full benefits. good news, it was my last flight of the year!! It's hoops season!

A number of pilots are going to work for overseas airlines because they pay better and apparently treat them better too.
