Sorry for dumb question....
Is it true that airlines only want time if you signed aircraft as AC? ei, no other, copilot, sim time or drone time. 1500 AC hrs?
This part hasn't been addressed. And answer is no. No other nation on earth has same "birth" rights as in USA.
So socialism doesn't work as intended. People do not have rights. Yet somehow people in free world strive to achieve that state. Weird.
Did those spreadsheets tell you that those pilots would rather be deployed to Afghanistan to experience IDF and other imperils to their health than doing "intrinsically rewarding work"?
..If you re-look at how drones are tasked, you can solve manning problem and job satisfaction. Ask crews when they feel mission is "fraud waste and abuse". Remove that feeling and things may change. IMHO of course.
