First Officer Jeffrey B. Skiles Testifies

300-hour pilots climbing into airline seats? That's outrageous. They don't even meet the minimum time required to be covered on my insurance.

At regional airlines. back in 2008 before the layoffs. They were looking for pilots that had at least 500 flighthours 50 hours in a multiengine. they only make about $20,000 a year. This industry is going to the shitter for a while now. I would not recommend it to anyone. I work for this industry as a mechanic.

skiles is the man

I watch this video, love what he is saying. Then I read some of your retarded comments. No wonder the world thinks Americans are complete dumbasses. Look at how you act, you're not even on subject, you're bickering and calling each other stupid names. Really? Can we get back on track here and you kids go back to the sand box to cry over who stole who's toy? Geez.

Retirements maybe bye bye, but at least you got your health flyboys.

Great video, important issues. Shame about the many pointless comments

Who said you are a pilot? are you retarded? do you not comprehend information? read my statement again, kid!

@Shanana

What do you expect? pilots are humans too...and you call me 'ugly turk', thats the reaction you get. Look at the way you are talking, hypocrite!

You are a sick lonely bastard! Sorry! I feel pity your slutty mom abandoned you

Haha, wish me crash...I hope you die in a car crash too, you ugly *whatever* .

Shut the fuck up and grow up. She is nice enough to post this on her channel.

I see nothing wrong in that.

Think about what the Military does. you can go from zero flight time in your life to flying a Blackhawk, or a Jayhawk within months after completing Basic.

your talking people as young as 18 in the Army, are going to go to Basic, WOCS, than go to Flight School and end up being licensed to fly right after training is complete months after they've completed Basic. because they have 3,000 hours of experience right?
