To narrow your statement............an A&P is NOT voided after 2 years of not "using" it or getting training. You can go years...........I did. And mine was never voided.

The FAA does not automatically send you something in the mail. They do not know you were not active. You do need to read the FARs though. Unless they have changed the license is not valid. This is a very vague issue with the FAA. Most will tell you with some monitored work experience and/or training that your ticket will be valid once again.

Exactly........never voided.
"Exempt" from what?
If you are talking the FLSA (federal wage and hour law), I am pretty sure most pilots make more than $5.15/hr., even if you count all duty time.
(And even under the FLSA, time spent sleeping in a hotel away from home is not compensable time.)
No, exempt means "salaried". Meaning, you would just make a set amount per year, not an hourly wage. If the company for whatever reason did not use you to capacity, you'd still make the same amount.
Isn’t it a long list of qualify applications/furlough waiting to take mainline pilots jobs (RJ E190 pay comes to mind)
How is that better than an hourly pay system for pilots? (Serious question -- I'm not trying to start an argument, and if there is a good argument that it would be better, then I agree it should be done. Just trying to understand how that would improve things for pilots and management.)
And if it is good for pilots, wouldn't the same logic make it a good idea for ALL employees?
Seems like you would run into problems ensuring everyone works / flies the exact same number of hours per year.

2B,Ahhh,..yes! What's in a name? On these forums one can use whatever name one desires .... so I read little into what I see. "tech" is not very specific ... but UAL is! So what'cha doing over here "stirring the pot", when there is so much going on at UAL?? Just curious ... no offense intended!
"Retired and Screwed"??? Well, not to much lately ..... not like the "Good Ole' Days"!!!!
"Pissed"? .... yeah, more frequently now! Hope it's not a Prostrate problem!

Excellent post!
To date, UAL pilots have not posted the nonsense that I read here or I would certainly be there giving them 'what for' as well. The havoc (financially and inflicting direct employee hardships) caused by the ‘work to the rule’ has assisted in the downward pressure of all employee groups (and eventually the pilots).
Take the 2000 ‘summer of love’ by UAL ALPA as an example and learn from it.
Take the 'capitulation' since then and learn from that as well.
Take care of that 'prostate', we only have one..

The pilot group have my utmost respect. They flew me safely in the a/c spaning my 25-year career. Whether it was a blizzard, freezing ice, thunderstorms and down pours, hurricane winds, inflight engine failures or inflight mechanical...we got to our destination with no event. They deserve the 6-figure income, and currently, the majority are grossly UNDERPAID for the responsiblity they carry every single moment they are flying.
My hats off to the pilot professtion!
I would say it's just customary. I know CPA's who are paid by the hour.
