First off, we need to do away with the second driver. Lets face it, just another safety device. One that we could do without, and never comes into play.
Sure babe, you drive, I want to read the paper!
Secondly, over the years as many of our jobs have gotten more intense, the pilots have been reduced to making the decision as to whether to fly, or not. Not because of safety, but because they feel like it, or not.
Lets see, "do I want to sleep in PHL, or PIT tonight?" Neither, lets stay in FLL!
And third, along with all of this stress, NOT, comes more pay? Why are they considered overpaid for what they do, don't know, you tell me! Maybe it was the stress of napping on the beach, at full pay for all those years?
Give the pilots 50 grand a year, see how they like it!
