They are ICAO licensed. THai, Bangkok airways, Air Asia, X Air Asia scoot, Nok scoot, Nok they all had to fire rated pilots in order to survive or after they closed down. Only Vietjet is an exception but they let young pilots pay for the rating without a guarantee of a job. Something that is not allowed in other parts of the world.
After reading all the comments I have the impression that many US people still think that the US is the world. Most be like baseball :) world series with only American clubs :)
Very hard to keep up with today's rising population pressure. Someday, flying 2200 miles LA to NY simply to attend aunt Tillies birthday party may become less convenient.
As long as airlines can make money pushing metal around and are still able to fill the seats, they will keep doing what works. Remember that list are Publicly traded companies. It’s in the best interest for their shareholders to make as much money as they possibly can. It will keep going on like this until the pilots give, or there is a major accident.
Just bring back the a380 and 747. Instead of stuffing us all on a320s and 737s
