This clip features two former Colgan Air pilots. They were among many current and former pilots flying regional carriers who spoke to FRONTLINE (a PBS documentary series) -- and they had plenty to say. Several noted that regional pilots have been trying for the past 10 years to bring attention to working conditions within the industry.

FRONTLINE is an award-winning series by PBS (Public Broadcasting System). Please watch and support your local PBS channel!!

  • EVERYONE!!! I need a favor........it's totally cool for everyone to voice and post their comments about their point of views in this particular video. However, I WILL NOT condone trash talking of other posters in here. I posted this video so that the public is educated about how these pilots live on a daily basis while working for a commuter airline - that's all. So therefore, save your trash talk at home where it belongs.

  • second guessing becoming a pilot lmao

    guy made 22k his first year for 16 hour shifts.... YIKES!

  • @TalksWithDirt My Bad misunderstood.

  • @rev4life03 This is what market forces are. If people of adequate skill are willing to work for that rate then that is by definition the worth of a pilot as dictated by the market.

  • @N330AA Its not about researching the career, the problem is that there are people out there willing to take that salary instead of saying no, the market is perfectly capable of of giving higher salaries, they just wont as long as there is bottom feeders out there willing to accept fast food wages for this job.

  • @rev4life03 Clearly the market does dictate that pay by virtue of the fact it's offered and people choose to do it. Unfortunately, it's there own stupid fault for not researching their career properly

  • @N330AA I don't deny that they chose it but the market doesn't dictate that pay, the problem is pilots are willing to accept it with the thought that they will get that 6 figure salary soon..Wrong..

  • @rev4life03 Yeah why not? The pilots who chose to do that job obviously thought so.

  • @N330AA So you say 16K a year is reasonable?

  • @macbookusrkid They deserve respect but they don't deserve more money than the market dictates.
