He, I'd sign up if they offered Free flight training and certification. All that can cost over $100,000 - meaning I'd go work to be a Airline Pilot for them if they offered to teach me to be a Pilot, for Free.

Last week it was a tourist plane that crashed in Alaska. These tourist places ought to have stricter regular regulations and inspections. Many of those pilots only fly during tourist season, and are usually rusty come tourist season.

OH HELL - I would volunteer to FLY for the Big Airlines if they would train me and get me a Commercial Pilots license for FREE (At No charge to me). I was discouraged ages ago because I wear glasses and uncorrected vision is far less than the ideal 20/20. And yet corrected I see 20/10 thru my prescription lenses. Come On - PICK ME, COACH!

I am surprised Boeing and Airbus haven't designed New aircraft with enhanaced security measures in place. I imagine an enlongated cockpit area, with a set of lavatory and galley just for the pilots, segregated from the rest of the plane (No doorway to main plane cabin) and their own entrance/exit from the plane. They elongate planes to add more customers, why not do so for security?

I agree it isn't about the $1.59 - How many fees are they going to tack on in the future? And if this fee is only because of covid, Will it go away once covid is eliminated and this extra "cleaning" isn't required, any more?

If they would offer to pay for flight school cost if a student successfully graduates, Then I would sign up for the job. I already have 2 degrees and Love Flying! I wouldn't be complaining about getting paid $40k-$50k a year to do something I love, since I am already comfortable, financially.

Rysn air isn't the only travel partner to try incentives to get people travelling agsin. I read in the Dow Jones news that Carnival cruise lines is offering a 5 day cruise in Sept, for UDS $108, per person. I can't believe the low price but i can see why they are offering tickets for such s low price - to get people travelling agsin!

The attrition rate will kill them and put a lot of people in unnecessary debt while attending programs like this. As a former technical college instructor, I can confidently say not all students will finish this program. And those that don't will have taken out loans that they won't be able to pay back at your typical college dropout salary - further adding to overall student debt. If the airline made students sign a contract to work off their debt or a fixed length of years, regardless of completion of program, they may see some financial benefit as well as tax write-offs. In this way they are guaranteed a work force in years to come and students will have guaranteed jobs. A win all around. Even if the non pilots aren't needed at United Airlines, they could be assigned to work at a sister airline. If they hold true and make their training fit for real world flying, any airline would be happy to get Pre-Trained pilots at no expense to them. And as a result, more of the industry

If a tested item failed at 149% of it's required limit - I would consider that to be a winner. The point of having a 150% passing grade is to ensure the item's design exceeds requirements of every day use.
