DAL/NWA Combination....should regional guys be worried?

[jke406]

I wonder how Delta HR is gonna like the guys who failed the Delta interview, but are now at Northwest?

All the NWA guys will have to re-interview for their jobs.

About the same as they felt for the WAL who didn't have a four year. They welcomed them with open arms.

 

[John Pennekamp]

if that isn't the most self-serving, deluded rationalization for tanking an interview...whatever lets you sleep at night, man...but don't convince us...convince yourself.

If I cared what you or 320 dork think of me, I wouldn't be here. Now care to debate the topic at hand, or lost for words?

 

[John Pennekamp]

Apology? To a bitter wannabe who failed a NWA interview. I think not. Believe it or not, there are some "career" people stuck at ASA because they have nowhere else to go. Sound familiar? But you go on believing that you "tanked" that interview. Apparently your ego needs it.

I rank you right up there with that tanker guy.

See, you just showed your true colors and proved everything I said about you. I knew I could rope you in... again.

This is gonna be fun!

Been at a Major one year since leaving ASA and 4 things off the top of my head make me know I made the right choice even if I get put on the street for a few years:
1. Got a 1000 dollar check for an alpa grivance that would have never happend at ASA.

Thanks for reminding me another reason I said no to NWA. If I left, I would have missed out on my ~$11,500 check. And thanks for leaving and making it bigger.

2. Can get a day off that I need if I have to, Personal drop on the computer and don't have to talk to a soul. At ASA you had to give a left arm off for something or couldn't swap crap.

Me too. If swaps fail, I call in sick, recurring FMLA, and no penalty or guilt. And I still have all of my limbs.

3. If for some reason I get sick and lose my medical I get half my pay until I am 60. Not to bad, that will never happen at a ASA

I have that too. It's called "insurance".

4. Get 11 percent into my 401k on top of my salary and I don't have to do anything out of pocket.

We get 10% now at ASA. So you took that pay cut and risk a furlough for a 1% 401k contribution? Wow, that was dumb.

Not really, I just wanted to see how fast you needed to show that you had testicles again. There is nothing out there more egoistic than a regional captain. Lets switch topics, tell us about your SCUBA DIVING. wwwwwooooooooooooooo

-It's pretty simple, you are stuck at ASA.
-Can't get, busted, or are waiting for Delta interview
-Blew the NWA interview
-Your career is at the mercy of the Delta pilot negotiators

You are the stereotype that fins is trying so hard to overcome

and you're bitter about it

Sure, I'd love to "debate the topic at hand" but I'm still waiting for you to "debate" your $50k paycut statement. And, by the way, you're demonstrating that you are at a LOSS for words. Not "lost". Got it?

320 dork.(I used to fly ATR's, so you're probably right. Sigh....)

Sorry, I glanced over that one.

I made $78K last year (and will make a lot more this year). Starting pay at NWA is about $27K. That's actually $51K.

And when you're done crying, way to perpetuate the stereotype that mainline pilots think all "commuter" pilots are washed up losers with bent metal, an FAA action, no degree, two DUIs and a trail of busted interviews. Loser.

Well, at least it's becoming clearer why you can't get hired anywhere.

Unless you're 55 or older, please give us the details of your loss of license insurance that pays you 50% until you're 60. Be sure to tell us what that COSTS you vs. the free disability plans at NWA or DAL.

ASA now has a 10% B plan? (pssst.... you contributing 10% of your own pay doesn't count). I'll send airlinepilotcentral an update....

Glanced over it eh? I'll say. Especially when you consider that your claim was not about first year pay, but about first 4 years pay. Loss for words again? Come'on scooter, I'm thinking that "reading comprehension" may have been a problem in the interviews.

That and the fact that I don't have an apps out there, dumbass? Alabama public school system?

Sorry, but JP's not divulging stuff that personal publicly. Sorry you didn't get a good deal.

He said 401k.

Game set match. YOUR apology is accepted. See ya.

Not at all, but there are some and apparently they spend their entire lives mainline bashing with no success

Oh yeah, game set and match mainline, again

waahhhh waaahhhh is not an argument BTW, it's a sign that you have lost the debate

so long, we'll let you know what we're doing with scope

Yeah he did say 401k.....he said 11% on top of his salary. That's what we call a B-plan sparky.
As for the AL school system, hey, your the ASA pilot....sounds like your neck of the woods and your area of expertise.
Your avoidance of the specifics in your posts speaks volumes.

Stay out of icing in that thing, kay?

Weak. If you're going to insult me as least be good at it.

Ohhhhhhhh Snap!

 

[ugasucks]

1.Sorry I would have guilt to say I am sick when I am not(not saying I never did bc that is the only way at ASA when you are junior) If I need a day off for a reason its nice to know I don't have to do that anymore get it, I guess its how my parents raised me.
2. I did get a higher education in bama so you can't use that one.
3. The half pay till retirement is a bonus that I don't have to pay for, I have LOL that I pay for on top of that.
4. The 11% is what the company gives to me on top of my paycheck not a match, I still contribute more.

 

[jke406]

Ohhhhhhhh Snap!

You said at one time you were planning to get out of aviation. I call BS. You are bitter, stuck at a regional, and have no prospects anywhere else (with your personality, it's not hard to see why).

All that's left for you is an existence of trying to justify your poor decisions and attempt to blame mainline pilots for your lack of progression in this industry.

You are like a clown on fire. Kind of funny, kind of sad.
