Default Vid: So you want to be a Regional Airline Pilot?

Do you have a point with that?

APC is about discussing issues that pertain to the professional piloting career. I watched the whole video. I think the point is that first year pay for regional F/O's is not very good.

As the OP, it would be great if you had some comment to go along with your video.

Ok I've seen this video several times now, what is the meaning behind "...and you'll never be able to date a girl named margo again" ?

Whatever ever happened to that comedy where the captain comes on and starts describing a bunch of handguns the flight crew has... it was a satire of the FFDO program... quite funny.

Sorry, I assumed that the section I posted it in, hangar talk, was for "shooting the breeze". I did comment about the video, albeit it wasn't at all a detailed analytical comment. My apologies. I'll keep this in mind for future posts.

Yeah, I received a forwarded e-mail last week with this on it. It's surprising how long these forwarded e-mails stay in circulation. I get a kick out of it each time though.
