Will the pilot job outlook be better if the airlines merge?

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

RHCP FAN asked:


I have heard that United and Continental are talking about a merge, as well as American and Northwest, and US Airways and Delta. If they decide to merge, so that there are only 3 traditional carriers instead of 6, what will this do to jobs within the companies? Ticket prices will be higher because of less competition, so will that make pilot pay/benefits go up? Also, will there be more jobs available?

What will be the changes to the airline industry if these merges do in fact occur?

Daijiro asked:


I’ve been given the opportunity to interview an airline pilot for my English assignment.

I am required to develop a piece of writing about a person who has an interesting aspect of his/her life. I will first interview the person and conduct any background research as required to give my story credibility.

What questions do I ask this airline pilot?

What are some reasons a person becomes a bush pilot?

Sunday, April 12th, 2009
YES, I use correct grammar! asked:


Instead of applying to legitimate airline services (i.e. charter pilot, hauling [legit] cargo, etc.), why would someone choose to serve remote areas inaccessible by other means?
How much money (on average) does a good bush pilot pull down in a year?
