AIRLINES continued from pg. 10 A pilot shortage stemming from continued ex- pansion has caused airlines to extend their hiring practices to pilots in their mid-40s and to re- duce eye standards somewhat. Less than 3 percent of pilots hired by the major airlines in 1984 had worse than 20/20 vision. This percentage has increased to more than 12 per- cent during the first six months of 1985. The highest airline salaries will decrease but low-end salaries will increase and outstrip cor- porate wages by the time individuals accrue 10 years with a given airline, according to current FAPA figures. For example, FAPA surveys indicate that a first-year Delta Air Lines pilot serving as a Boeing 727 flight engineer will start out at a salary of $12,000 a year but, in his tenth year with the airline, will be a Boeing 727 first of- ficer at a maximum salary of $78,000 a year. Smaller corporate flight departments are keen on hiring just the right kind of individual for their operations -- one who likes the job and the area and hence will be less likely to move on.

Regional airlines continue to suffer losses to the majors and appear to be much harder hit by pilot turnover. Regional and commuter airlines are experiencing about a 30 percent turnover, according to Allan R. Stephen, Regional Airlines Assn. Vice President for Operations. He charac- terizes it as "not critical, but continuing." Costs of retraining aircrews is a significant factor in regional costs and some have instituted reimbursement provisions in pilot contracts. Pilgrim Airlines, New London, Conn., which lost 55 - 70 percent of its pilots during one 14-month period recently, has contract provisions that re- quire pilots to partially reimburse the airline for training costs if they leave before a speci- fied period. Time periods vary from six months to two years, depending on the flight-crew po- sition held and the type of equipment, according to Roger H. Bryan, Pilgrim director of operations. Reimbursement is typically limited to about 67 percent of costs incurred by the airline. Your medical care partner Your CHAMPUS claim bounced?
