Atlanta (CNN Business)The spokesman for American Airlines' pilots union called Boeing's insinuation that foreign pilots were to blame for the crashes involving 737 MAX jets "inexcusable" and said AA pilots made several suggestions to Boeing to fix the 737 MAX's systems before the second plane crash.
|
|
In recent weeks, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg and others have said that the actions of the pilots played a role in the chain of events that caused the crashes, which Dennis Tajer, spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, said unfairly points the finger at foreign pilots.

The Airline Professionals Association, Teamsters Local 1224, the union representing the pilots, started the strike because of what it called significant understaffing problems at ABX Air, which has demanded that pilots fly "emergency" flights to meet the demands of its cargo customers, disrupting the pilots' schedules.

Four expatriate pilots told Reuters the downsides include a long hiring process; short, 3-year contracts, with no union protection; gruel ling flight rosters handed to pilots at late notice; and a system geared towards penalizing pilots for mistakes rather than using these to learn safety lessons.

Updated software required less intervention from pilots In the simulations run over the weekend with the current MCAS software, the test pilots used existing procedures to disable the system, while test flights using the new software required less intervention from the pilots, a source told CNN.

|
|
Instead of climbing into the cockpit from a rolling staircase like US pilots do, the Russian pilots simply climb up a ladder attached to the landing gear.
|

The pilots would then manually attempt to bring the nose back up, but there's speculation that the pilots may have been unable to properly override the computers.

Ryanair pilots in several countries mobilised after the company in September announced the cancellation of around 20,000 flights, which it blamed on a lack of standby pilots.
|

Some drone pilots say their sport has been scapegoated and that drones pose little danger if they are flown by pilots who know what they are doing.
|
|
Indeed, a number of pilots have witnessed meteors burning up in Earth's atmosphere before, and video of the phenomenon looks quite similar to what the pilots described.
|
|
The measure also would improve air traffic control hiring, help pilots better recognize victims of human trafficking and streamline the process for pilots in obtaining medical certificates.
|
|
Since the flight works with four pilots, a maximum of just two pilots will be on break at any given time, so there are only two cots.
|
|
"On a weekly, almost daily basis, pilots are filing reports on drone sightings," Greg McConnell, chairman of the Canadian Federal Pilots Association said in a phone interview.
|
|
Boeing and FAA pilots have been testing the updated software for months and the FAA is inviting regular 737 MAX line pilots to run tests as well.
|
|
And the update will also cause the automated system to shut off if pilots appear to be fighting with it for control of the aircraft, pilots said.
|
|
The change in the flight control system, which can override manual actions taken in the Max model, was not explained to pilots, according to some pilots' unions.
|
|
Passengers can be affected too, but because most don't fly as frequently as pilots and flight attendants, they are usually less affected by strong fumes, pilots contend.

"No matter who is in charge, we have the same expectations and we'll remain an advocate for our passengers no matter what the name tag says," said Dennis Tajer, spokesman for the Allied Pilots Association, which represents roughly 15,000 American Airlines pilots including more than 4,000 737 pilots.
|

Pilots now spend more time learning these automated systems than practicing hands-on flying, so newer pilots are less comfortable with taking manual control when the computer steers them wrong, according to interviews with a dozen pilots and pilot instructors at major airlines and aviation universities around the world.

In order to boost retention, Carlisle said the Air Force would offer a $25,000 retention bonus to drone pilots, an amount similar to bonuses offered to jet pilots.

Most airline pilots begin their flying careers working as commercial pilots, accruing thousands of flight hours to gain the experience needed to land a job with a regional or major airline.

The pilots are demanding a more transparent system of pay, promotions and transfers as they aim to limit what the FORSA/IALPA union says is management's excessive discretion over pilots' careers.

Pilots' experience and real-world reactionsHowever, recent reports and conversations have begun to shift towards pilots' inexperience, as well as a lack of training standards, as a contributor to the crashes.
|
|
Here's a look at the state of female pilots at US airlines: It's a man's world Of the 2220,825 pilots flying for airlines last year, only 6,994 were women, about 4.37%.

In the United States, training classes for Afghan pilots were shut down by the Pentagon after more than 40 percent of the student pilots went absent without leave, the report said.
|
|
The outsize power wielded by the pilots' union in the Lufthansa strike is testing not only passengers but also the tens of thousands of the airline's employees who are not pilots.
|

The crashes led to questions about the plane's design and features that were supposed to make it easier for pilots to fly, as well as whether pilots had received adequate training.
|
|
Industry members say their rest rules follow strict guidelines and that the nature of the job has different requirements and cargo pilots generally fly fewer, but longer trips, than passenger pilots.
