Thank you Tim for your very intelligent reply about the commuter pilots. Indeed my son knew about this and understands the negatives of Scope as you do.
I read all your posts and always enjoy reading important facts about flying. I just love all things flying and through my good son I have flown a good deal. I remember my boy stationing me at the Minneapolis airport where I could watch the big birds fly over me when there was a push.
Lastly, I commend you on the years of dedication that you gave to your vocation. You sound like the kind of pilot I would feel safe with were you to be piloting a flight I was on. Timothy Duggan? Would you happen to be a fellow celt? My best to you.
Musketeer is 100% right about the life of a commuter pilot. It is no stroll in the park but most usually it is a matter of "paying his or her dues" on the way to the wide bodies. I know of where I speak because my eldest son did just that. Finally he could afford steak instead of Ramen noodles, but the climb was fraught with money troubles and all that entails. There sure was no romance in that hippity-hop work for Rinky Dink Airlines, but now he is a "gray beard" and will retire in less than five years. He was helped in his climb by the G.I. Bill after serving as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, Viet Nam era. I hope the up and coming bright young pilots will keep their eyes on the prize for which they all yearn and achieve working for the top of the line outfits.
Hi Michael, I don't know if you mean me but I am the little, old lady who wrote about my son, the pilot. Just for the record, I had eight children, have 18 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren with the 20th to be born in August and one ( so far) great-great grandchild. Have a great day. Muriel D.
Loved the video. My eldest son has been an American Airline pilot for lo these many years. When he calls, my first words are "Where are you?" It could be any part of the country, Canada or Mexico. The video shows me the processes that go into a pilot's day while flying. Interesting video. Thank you.
