I am only here because of me but one of the major reasons here exists is because of deregulation.

And no. No Hillary.

Just because you were in the military and "fought for it" doesn't mean you understand it. In point of fact, you clearly don't as I have amply demonstrated. Moreover, you don't even understand simple economics, which means you cannot possibly understand how regulation or deregulation affects economics, which means you cannot possibly understand the opinions you have. You just spew them out because someone somewhere told you that "unfettered capitalism" is wrong and blah blah blah.

You are a lemming, conditioned to spew what your betters ("people who have PhD's agree with me") have told you to say.
And you think because you supported the Iraq war where friends of mine died for what some believe to be a pursuit of cheap oil, you understand freedom?

Geez, this one went off the rails quickly.

This is why we can't have nice things.

It's why you can't work for a major airline. You're just not ready yet.

Thanks for your service. Although nobody died for cheap oil. We should have taken the oil, that much is clear, but we didn't. Terrorist groups have the oil.

Again, thanks for your service, but I don't think anyone can say with any degree of certainty just what we were doing over in Iraq.

The moderator will likely just lock this thread up as soon as he gets around to it, maybe he can just move it over into Hangar Talk instead of closing it.

I don't mean to throw my service around. I don't need or want thanks. I was merely trying to tell him that, of all people, I understand freedom. I typically don't like when people drop the M bomb to win an argument. I was just providing prospective. And I agree with you.

Yes, you are an idiot of the highest magnitude.

No, you don't get to put words into my mouth and claim this is the argument I make.

The misunderstanding is your's, not mine.
It's funny. Breezy has actually laid out and explained his positions using logic, and some facts and actual numbers.

Agree or disagree with his positions, at least he's arguing them using some logic and reasoning.

From what I've read, you've only managed to hurl insults "moron" "idiot" "retard" etc. with no real logic or reasoning to back up your non-sencical, ideological drivel.

So, what say you about ab initio in lieu of regional work? My understanding of the dynamic is that in America flight training is cheap and accessible, thus no barrier to supply that forces companies into ab initio. And if not ab initio, how then should the industry be structured so that the apprenticeship portion of a professional airline pilot's career isn't a financially ruinous endeavor when juxtaposed to the prevailing wage at the mainline level?

I know some would say, "well if the regional stint had only been 4 years then there's no problem to fix" but as we can see, that "career expectation" upon which the regional FO salary is supported/accepted by the applicants in the first place, is no longer true. Are regional FOs today truly supportive of food industry wages for airliner flying, if not for the very privately or publicly held belief that such a wage level is to be endured for only 4 years? Not baiting, honest question.

How should the apprenticeship level of the profession look like in order to be sustainable? I'm assuming the current system is not sustainable, which apparently is still a source of disagreement by folks on here.
