Cutting corners has become the American way.
This title is not really true. My son flies for United and ONE of the main problems is the shortage of “FAA check airmen” for the final “airmen check rides” or “Fly alongs”. He was being paid for 3 months sitting at home waiting for his an FAA airman. He had several other pilot friends that were waiting 4-6 months... Once that was done he was finally put on the schedule but more of an “on call” basis.
Not a good idea IMO.
I am sure that they’ll be cutting prices, too. It should be a great time to fly, Democrats!
