Former NWAer speaks his views on OTM.
He should definately learn to blink more often.

The sad truth when it comes to what Regionals pay first and second year FO's. I liked his other point is the use of smaller aircraft. That honestly is probably a greater contributing factor than ever. Now that the demand is up, I feel it's time to start moving back into larger aircraft again. Just my 2 cents.

Think it will ever happen? Letting the bean counters cut corners is a one way road to a dead end... But, In my inexperienced opinion I think within ten to twenty years we could swing the other way and have fewer, larger aircraft taking over the routes of smaller aircraft.

That's just in keeping with the pendulum theory however, and has now factual substance
