Where is pcl128 when you need him.

Use them to train fast track folks so we can hopefully end this dreadful pilot shortage.

A depository for your anger over either
1. throwing your career under the bus, or
2. Having your career thrown under the bus by your senior "union brothers"

See how many people pilot error can kill taking off on the wrong runway without a heading CHECK...

YOU are a piece of sh!t.

How do I use the ignore function again?

$90k/year while you're furloughed.

And exactly what airline is that? If that were true at my airline, I would be first in line begging to be furloughed!!

Apparently he has been banned.

The hulls could be used as dinner cars. What a great piece of Americana.

Order up, Ding!

How about 10 year guys in the training department at ASA? Here ya go to figure it out......

I can't tell you how many people aren't planning on going anywhere because they don't want the initial paycut, followed by a massive loss in quality of life, and the threat (now certainty) of a furlough. The loss simply takes too much time to recoupe now- unfortunately.

THAT BETTER BE SARCASM TAKLING...

I have many friends at the regionals who are in their 20's & 30's and are pulling down six figures and they live in base and love their jobs. Also, most of them have no desire to give up their QOL and six figure incomes to move on to a "major". Boo-Hoo if a 21 year old has to make $20K for his 1st year and 30K for his 2nd year. Enjoy the sour grapes.

You have to be at the regionals for at least 15 years to even come close to 100K...with perdiem. Unless you are a checkairman then the override might bump you...or you are never home and working 100+ hours a month. B/S

Most regional contracts top out at about $105-$108 per hour after about 18 years or so. If you make it to that point...you are probably stuck.

I was thinking more in line of ripping the wings off of them and making them an employee bus. Would be better than what we ride on now...

Your post must've been accidently truncated.

"...to foot the entire cost themselves.", got cut off somehow.

Stay angry...and stay there.

Amen! Let's never forget how this fiasco started! ALPA telling the company to split bargaining groups into smaller and smaller units until their is no bargaining power left! Maybe we can finally learn from history.

 

[Occam's Razor]

Maybe we can finally learn from history.

"from"?

You need to learn history first.

Sometimes you gotta pay at least a little for a good deal, princess.

You simply dig a hole in the sand,put your head in and cover it up...

And a US Airways A330 Captain Top pay is 160.00 an hour. I think that these guys making 105-108 flying a RJ with 4 vaction slots and first choice of lines aren't really stuck. They are happy.

 

[outtahere]

Lets see four years at ASA, fifth year pay, reserve captain and 70k per year or first year at any legacy, 30-40k, fourlough risk extremely high, hmmmmm.... think I'll stay put. By the way, the guy that started this thread, wasn't he a freedom A-lister? Talk about rocks and glass houses!

You never broke six figures on the Avro? I did several years in a row and that was on 7-10 year pay. Isn't too hard to do when you live in base and take advantage of a little premium pay now and then. You gotta know how to work the system but it isn't hard to break $100K at a regional and you don't have to fly a ton to do it.

 

[Rizzo]

The first post mentioned air traffic delay generators....

How about:
A. United flights that insist on going M.65 even when they are number one of 6 flights headed to ORD. You will be getting a nice big vector and becoming number 6 if I'm working you.
B. The POS VLJs that are getting ready to hit the skies.....talk about a nightmare.

CRJ1s suck.
CRJ7s and 9s are a pleasure to work with.
ERJs are okay depending on whether or not the pilot is a moron.

I wanna put one in my trailer park to live in.

On the AVRO 6 years..never broke 100K even with perdiem...did not live in base. You must have worked your butt off. Still, pay rates get stuck about that $105-108 range at the top of the scale. I had 26 years left...glad I was able to make the jump and have never regreted it ...ended up at a better place.
To each his own and sometimes you take a chance.
