As a retired US Air pilot I will have to agree with most of the comments. Bob Crandall and Parker never gave a rap about their employees. It was always bottom line. WhenI started with Piedmont Airlines it was not like that. We took pride in being Piedmont pilots. They would never have stolen our retirement and put at the back of the line. Like Gordon Greco said Greed is good and they are very good at it.

I cannot believe some of the comments from these people . I would bet that 90 percent of you have never flown a Boeing aircraft. There is nothing wrong with the plane, poor training, bad piloting and a definite lacki of info from the manufacturer caused the accidents. That’s what ‘ this profession has come to. I could be wrong but there were no incidents on any US carriers. Stop relying on fly by wire and become pilots again

Asa former colleague of sullyinberger, I have to take issue with him on his criticism of the FFA and Boeing. They did not cause these 2 crashes but piss poor piloting and training surely did. God help us if we no. need a computer to tell us when we are stalling. Maybe we really do need pilotless aircraft. Hope American pilots get their extra sim time so they can recognize when their computer is working or not

Been doing this for over 50 years, taxing in to Buf one night, down hill ramp, had to put that 737 in to full reverse to keep from going into terminal. Do this job long enough, it can happen to you. Hope not

Having flown the737 for many hours safely, just one question. If On autopilot an the aircraft starts doing funny things, can’t youturn the a/p offf and become a pilot again?

Linda if you really believe that rambling you put. Out you need to get some help. If you think Trump cares at all about you or our profession you are very naive. He is a physcopath who lies when the truth will serve him better. Just ask some of the former Trump Shuttle pilots. I wish you luck in our profession, I think you will need it.

I have been in this business over 50 years, money over people is nothing new. As a retired Capt for a major airline I can assure you that’s the way it’s all ways been. That’s why a lot of us lost our pension, the , company and ALPA made sure of that.
