The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

Probably some qualified ground personnel that will have an extra pay bump due to the “qual”.

Years ago, while in grad school, I worked for Continental as a ramp ape and that’s what they did. All of them were A&P types. The big 3 pay qualifications for bag stackers were Ramp Chief (push back tractor driver), Lavatory (no thanks), and Fueler. Ahhh…the ugly underbelly of the show.

can’t imagine that these will be certificates pilots

From the article…

The taxi crew role requires pilots to already hold a valid Air Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate or equivalent, along with appropriate type ratings or experience. Responsibilities include conducting pre-taxi checks, communicating with ground control, and safely maneuvering aircraft between stands and runway holding points. These pilots will operate widebody aircraft such as the Boeing 777 and 787, which British Airways regularly deploys on transatlantic routes. However, they will not be involved in takeoff or landing phases, which remain the responsibility of flight crews.

If you can do this job remotely from Del Rio, TX, I’m sold.

Doesn’t sound career enhancing

I think in the end we will probably discover that the pilots were not at fault and this was a case of either environmental or operational issues. This is what pilot unions are for to protect folks from irrational findings and to ensure that this does not impact careers. But the memes coming out on various aviation forums/social media are gold!
