Like guarantees to not get rid of the copilots position.... something some companies are trying to do. My grand father was first an army pilot, then a flight engineer; the third man in the cockpit that no longer exists as a position, then a copilot and then a pilot, he heard the other day about companies pushing the FAA for flights allowed to have only one pilot and he just about shit himself.
Well, yeah that should get some push back from the government and passengers too. I would not want to be on a plane without a copilot.
Surely to fuck the FAA will resist such a move that is based on a bottom line of a corporation and not on safety, right?.......right?!
Well it's more so congress and not so much the FAA. For example, the house has passed a bill allowing pilots to continue to fly until 67 years old. The current mandatory retirement age is 65 and believe me, a lot of the guys pushing their 60s are delusional and this is just gonna make it worse.
I don't like that comment at all.
