I am interested to see if drones start to get brought down by Federal law enforcement.

This goes along with the underlying theme: They are playing the game they have to based on the rules in place. Big deal. If they can tell passengers more than not that they have run on time or even early, then good on them.

I always thought the Dash-7 was a cool airplane too.

I think a classic case of folks watching too many movies and coming to believe that they are smart enough to actually pull it off. In this day and age, when law enforcement does actually pay attention to such things, do you seriously think that you will not get caught?? It baffles the mind...

Either way, I think one problem is that if you want a professional flying job, most likely the company you are interested in has a pilot pool represented by some sort of union. I have no real statistics to say that that is either good or bad. I think it depends on the company-union relationship. But, if you are against that sort of organization and representation morally, you just have to swallow your pride, suck it up and accept that fact. It is just the reality of the industry. Like I said, I have no statistics that tell me whether a company fares better with or without representation. It is interesting, however, that this industry is really one of the only remaining hold-outs that has wide-spread union representation.

Yes, I did hear that once you signed on with them, it was a full-time "permanent" position for the term of the employment contract. To the point that if you want to see your family, you would need to move them to where you are working. I think the Chinese contracts are more agreeable to commuter contracts. Just my understanding.

United has not had the best of luck recently, huh?

Indeed. I think we will be in the "Jetson" era sooner than later.
