Описание: Pilots On Food Stamps is a true to life account of the current pilot shortage facing the United States. The author uses real time-lines and actual pilot wages to demonstrate how airline flights are being canceled and passengers left with few options. While airlines make billions of dollars in profits, the American taxpayer is paying for the food stamps that many airline pilots qualify for Incredible you might say, Pilots qualifying for food stamps. Surely you must be joking We see airline pilots in their pressed suits and crisp shirts as they walk through the airport terminals, hear their calm, friendly voices informing passengers of flight time and weather conditions on the plane and assume they are making six figure salaries, or somewhere close to that. Wrong, wrong, wrong This book is a true to life account of the current pilot crisis facing the nation; its origin, the current status and what needs to be done to fix this problem. If your Physician put in six to eight years of medical education, training and internship in order to provide you with the best, up to date medical care, would you expect him or her to be paid less than that of a fast food worker with much less training? Would it be fair if the physicians salary was calculated only on the actual time he or she was in the office or in surgery with the patient, without taking into consideration the doctors time spent on patient telephone calls, availability for the times on standby when the doctor was on call, travel to and from the clinic, hospital or office as well as supervisory and administrative duties? Why should a pilot only get paid for his or her actual flight time? Is it fair for airline passengers to have their flights canceled and planes grounded because there are not enough qualified pilots? As we read this book we must ask ourselves if we will garner the political will to demand better wages for our pilots and if we will hold our elected officials accountable for ensuring adequate airline and passenger safety. And then we must act to make sure the job gets done. A Must Read
