FAA warns American pilots about perceived slowdown.
The FAA has stepped in to warn the American pilots that their on time performance has suffered since 9/14/2012 when talks stalled. Why is the FAA involving themselves in this contract dispute? Maybe there's a safety reason for the on time performance. (airnation.net) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Yeah, the warning is probably in a letter to the union cc the management. Some POI is of the opinion that pilots are intentionally slowing down, looking for something to write up or falsifying records. Blame it on the pilots. Like I said before, pilots are soooooo over regulated that if the rules were followed with 100% compliance, the flight would never leave the gate. Captains could bring down the airline if they wanted. They don't. They just don't want the blame when the airline is mismanaged. Chapter 11 is a reorganization, not liquidation. American even got approval to order a bunch of new jets and evidently got financing. You can bet the FAA is all over the company, looking into every aspect of their operation. This is a good thing. Just don't jump on the pilots and the union. BTW, I am not a big union pilot. I wish we didn't have to have unions in such a high level profession.
If the pilot hadn't been there, the accident wouldn't have happened. That POI was acting under the direction of somebody. You are so correct, no flight would occur without the compliance of a Captain. The politisation of all forms of endeavor has become the bane of modern man. The captain is the sole responsible party. When did you ever hear of a politician that was the sole responsible party.
Hmmm. Good point. HAD to be sometime well prior to Nixon's presidency. <tongue in cheek>
Think this is about slots and separation issues.
Miss use of the minimum equipment list!?! WTF? If you don't use it they pull your ticket.
Here's a link to an article from Air Nation........interesting.
