Congress would be barbequed and would likely be the coup-de-grace for regional carriers using low-time pilots.

Besides, all such a roll back would do would be to provide a temporary relief to the industry as the real problem ISN'T the higher experience minimums, it's the combination of excessive cost to obtain a crap job that pays like garbage and provides even worse treatment. People aren't interested in that anymore, when they can make much better $ in other industries and get treated 1000% better while doing it. It's going to get to the point in 6 or 7 years where even the legacies will have a pilot shortage as all the present regional pilots will not be accepted and the regionals will be just about dead at that point.

That's what ultimately happens when you turn a once respected and difficult to obtain profession into nothing more then that of "just another job". They've patted themselves on the back for the ability to decimate this profession and the chickens are coming home to roost.

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.

What I said was that "the want of a long, healthy life is a desire, not a need."

Want a long, healthy life?

Earn it, just like everyone else.

The right to earn it (ie. "pursuit of") is guaranteed by the Constitution, nothing else.

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.

The reason I think congress will repeal it is because aviation travel is pretty much the new railroad industry. Cities grow and shrink due to the aviation business these days; and these small towns wants their piece of the pie.

Meanwhile, we all know I'm only the latest in a long line of folks who have called you out for your idiocies.

And playing on your service to generate sympathy is weak indeed. Real warriors never do that. Liberals? I know of many who say they have served but never did. Just more sock puppetry on your part? Who cares.
