A wealthy Pilot is not necessarily the most talented or valuable.
Jim Frost - 2012
One would think that this philosophical view would be self explanatory. In fact for many years I held the view that such a concept was a cornerstone of Pilot recruitment, and that aviation sought a certain type of person. After all it's not that long ago that Pilots' had to be the 'right stuff' and the likes of Chuck Yeager and Brian Trubshaw provided continual reminders of what the 'right stuff' might look, and act, like. In fact, for me and many like me, those two individuals alone formed a significant part of the inspiration that propelled my ambitions to enter the aviation profession.
Unfortunately - The 'right stuff' today is not primarily about airmanship, or ability, or talent. Instead, it is mostly about money with the misconceived logic that the other 'stuff' will follow.
Consider the following scenario:
Pilot X applies to Airline Y.
Airline Y decides that Pilot X may have the 'right stuff' and proceeds to telephone Pilot X for a brief telephone interview.
Airline Y tells Pilot X that they are considering inviting him for a full interview, to which Pilot X is now understandably quite excited.
Airline Y explains that they need to ask some brief filtering questions. Pilot X agrees.
First Question: In the event that we (Airline Y) offer you (Pilot X) a flight crew position will you provide amount (£Z tens of thousands) to type rate and line train yourself on aircraft type C.
Pilot X wants this position and has worked very hard to be in a position to interview for it. However, financially he will not be able to borrow amount Z.
Pilot X answers: Unfortunately he will be unable to raise amount Z
Airline Y thanks Pilot X for his time. Pilot X is not selected for interview and subsequently misses out.
Now imagine that Pilot X is Chuck Yeager or Brian Trubshaw.
It's an interesting thought to think that, in this example, Airline Y has just ignored the talent of those two individuals. Equally, it is evident that by adopting this policy of 'Self-Sponsorship' , airlines such as Airline Y will only give consideration to flight-crew candidates with access to the finance required to 'Self-Sponsor' their type rating and/or line training.
The flaw with this recruitment methodology is obvious and goes back to the opening gambit for this article that: 'A wealthy Pilot is not necessarily the most talented or valuable'.
What does this mean exactly? and why does it matter?
There is a difference between cost and value. People generally pay more for value. You know the 'buy 2 and get 1 free' deals usefully scattered about the supermarket - more expensive that 1 but cheaper than 3. In aviation value can mean the merit, worth or usefulness of, for example, a Pilot.
In recent times it is widely accepted that all sectors, and in particular aviation, have adopted the 'cost reduction' ethos. Airline management propagate a 'cost-reduction model' down through the ranks, no stone goes unturned.
If the price paid by airlines for Pilots is anything to go by then it could be said that the low terms (price) offered reflects an airline's perception that Pilots have little or no worth (or value). That reflection also infers that airlines have little or no worth for their passengers, flight safety, or aircraft - given that Pilots are responsible for those things (to name but a few). In other words there is a chain here - pay peanuts get peanuts.
Pilot recruitment has become a key area for cost reduction, and why wouldn't it? Airlines can save tens of thousands per pilot recruited, if the pilot bears the training cost and financial risks. Combine this with a little (actually a big) reduction in terms and conditions and add a dash of reduced remuneration and Airline Y, and its airline friends, would never of had it so good right?
Wrong - eventually the chain of causation will catch up and flight safety event(s) will increase . It is clear to see why when you consider that whilst the pilot workforce may well be the cheapest it has ever been, the talent and skill is being driven out or not permitted to enter at all due to rife financial discrimination.
A brief (scary) thought of the future: The richest pilots get recruited, some of them are not the 'right stuff' but had the money to get there. They make it through to the line and 'some of them' cause Captains increasing concern due to their 'wrong stuff'. However airlines rationalise by saying that it is OK because the Captains are the 'right stuff'. The recruitment practices continue for many years and get increasingly worse. Pilot terms and conditions continue to deteriorate until eventually a, or a series of, serious event(s) happen(s) due to Pilot competence/poor decision making or some other substantial reason. Nobody can understand, after all this is aviation... how did this happen? etc etc.
Eventually the reason is clear: The 'some of them' with the 'wrong stuff' are now Captains and are now also flying with other 'some of them's' with the 'wrong stuff'. Two wrongs don't make a right. (scary)
It's at the point above that airlines will suddenly re-realise the 'value' in hiring the 'right stuff' and choose to invest in their workforce in recognition and appreciation of (a) the value they put on pilots and (b) the value they put on the safety of their customers, crews and aircraft.
The 'Road to Perdition' is piloted regrettably by the airlines themselves. It is clear that, like the media industry, the airline industry is not entirely competent at self-regulation. Only legislative change can take the sceptre out of the clearly incompetent airline management's hands in regards to pilot recruitment, cost reduction and their links to reductions in flight safety.
The United States and India, in addition to others, have begun to make drastic changes to the oversight and recruiting practices prevalent within their jurisdictions. Their hands have been forced by safety incidents, crashes and needless losses of life. Pilot's sleeping in car parks sends the message: 'we love low cost, at any cost'. Fortunately these countries have begun to act, and for all of our sakes I can only hope that European aviation is as fortunate.
