LIKE A STACK OF TETRIS
BLOCKS, MANY PILOTS
SLIDE DOWN IN
RESPONSIBILITY AND PAY.
still being paid. Like many of my colleagues, my landing currency lapsed and
I then couldn't work. Since there was
little ﬂying, the company didn't bother
spending money to send us to training.
Paid summer vacation? Well, not really,
because there were few places to go to
enjoy a vacation during the lockdown.
In addition, my wife works and her job
may end up being the ﬁnancial lifeline
for my family if the airline goes belly-up.
This is not the ﬁrst time she's been in this
position, thanks to airline instability and
periods of low pay.
As of this early September writing,
I'm back in the cockpit but now in the
ﬁrst officer's seat of a Boeing 737 doing
a job I last did in 2014. The procedures
and ﬂows are coming back to me and I'm
enjoying my high seniority in that seat at
the moment. That will change as more
captains senior to me are displaced to the
right seat and push me down. I'm also
still being paid as a captain because our
union contract stipulates that as long as
there are people junior to me being paid
as captains, I will continue to be paid as
such. This likely will come to an end by
the time you read this because a lot of
displacement training is in progress. In
the meantime, I plan to make hay while
the sun shines.
Overall, ﬂights are picking up, but
very slowly as the country navigates
this virus-laden reality. It appears there
have been few infections linked to air
travel, and that has instilled conﬁdence in
many travelers. Some airplanes are being
plucked out of the desert storage areas
and put back in to service. Load factors
are increasing, as well. Rather than carrying just a dozen passengers in a 737 like
April, I had one recent ﬂight that only had
a dozen open seats. The question is, can
the recovery come soon enough to keep
airlines aﬂoat? FT
PETER A. BEDELL is a pilot for a major airline and
