Lol. I guess you can go all in on not being in that 0.1% but if they’re gonna bother putting a pilot on the flight deck they need to be qualified I’d think.

Save money on pilots and invest in better technology. Space has pointed out that the newer crop of pilots aren't much to begin with anyway.

Nope. Don’t agree at all. If they put a pilot on the flight deck they need to be qualified. If they don’t put a pilot up there… I’m driving.

They don't need a pilot on the flight deck, just an engineer to monitor the systems.


Oh and Boomer!

All they need to know is how to take off and land and most planes will land themselves. I doubt many do any hand flying anymore.

The FAA came out with a 'requirement' that airlines invest more time in training manually flown approaches. DAL has actually been pretty good in this respect for a long time. Whenever I have to go to the sim (every 9 months) we always do visual hand flown approaches. But, it is a problem that on bigger ultra long haul airplanes that takeoff and landing frequencies are not what they are on smaller domestic airplanes (obviously). The mitigating factor there is that most of the pilots on those long haul airplanes are pretty senior guys with lots of experience. But mostly what you will see is a takeoff hand flown to 5,000 feet maybe... (I fly it up to a much higher altitude), and on landing the autopilot comes off around 1,000 feet. But those are the most critical times for sure.

I am not saying that. They are getting into positions earlier in their career than those of us in years past. It took me 12 years to get a captain seat on a 767. We have a 10 month captain now.

But at least I have to quit at 65.

And investing in technology is a long drawn out process. A multimillion dollar airliner will be in the inventory for a long time, and the technology of it is pretty much fixed for that entire time with very minor exceptions. The 767 has been around since the 80s, and some of the new hires look at it like it was flown by Fred Flintstone (who they probably never heard of). It will be around for another 10 years at least.

So 99.9% of the time no pilot is needed?

I bet a pilot is needed much more frequently than that. ex:
- finding altitude with least turbulence3
- flying around thunderstorms
- landing in windy conditions or other inclement weather.
- computer issues
- mechanical issues.
- mile high club
- etc.

Res, commercial and industrial. They hit groups like marketing first but that's how it started in 08

i am anticipating a small reset of the market here. Massive amount of construction (mostly residential) in our area. Over supply plus higher interest rates predict a correction.

You referenced 08 but without context so bear with me if I misunderstood. I don't believe we are entering into another 08 moment. That was unique in American history (only twice have had such a drop) and multi factoral in causes. I think it is important to remember markets adjust...and real estate does, too. It did before 08. It will after 08. but every adjustment will not be an 08 event.

if 08 happens again, I am ready to buy.

No I just meant the layoffs are coming like they did in 08. Things like marketing, IT, etc were cut first then eventually you get down to producers. The company was also really enjoying the housing boom and got caught a bit by surprise when it crashed. They could be operating a bit more cautiously at this point

2008 won't happen again because the issue isn't loaning unqualified money like crazy. A very harsh correction can occur though. But that'll still leave alot of people in a very bad place. Just not as sharp as 2008 did. Imo.
