Maybe the companys should treat pilots like professionals....starting with pay!

Sully was the epitome of professionalism. To bad his takehome pay for the two hour flight from lga to clt was not, being that it was only 170 dollars.

I could not agree more

The "deregulation" of the airline industry has resulted in a lowering in the quality of airline pilots because they work long hours for low pay

There was a time that former Navy and Airforce pilots would go to work for the airlines after they left the service for big salaraies. These days you have inexperienced retarded pilots woking for 80 hour weeks for 40 grand a year.

I am surprised we don't have more crashes.

I have not been on a plane since 1996. I would rather rent a nice Mercury Grand marquis and drive where I need to go instead of being harrassed by retarded TSA security guards, dealing with delays, lost luggage and incompetent pilots getting skull from female co-pilots while we crash into houses in Clarence

With airline pilots you get what you pay for---just like with volunteer firemen
