Furloughs at Kalitta Air

[weasel_lips]

Good, because I F-ing hate whiners.

I've been at Southern for over 3 years, and have never once pulled a 40 day trip... Even with having many of my monthly schedules running back to back.

Does it ever happen...? Yeah.

But with most things "Southern", your schedule is what you make of it. Most of the guys here that have been out that long, have done it on purpose to make $.

Dude, they suck no matter which way you slice it.

I will pass on making 3 grand a month to be gone 20 plus days at a pop or up to 40 days in some cases.

I'm not sure where u came up with $3000 month. just looked at what i made last year here at SA. $100,081. 7 months as an FO and 5 months as Capt. including my $5000 Bonus at the first of the Year, And the Christmas Bonus in Dec. (FYI 2nd year pay scale (67.50 FO and 110Hr Capt.)

BTW. weasel_lips best luck to you at World I hope you never need to turn a job down here at Southern and have a merry Christmas!!!!!

Monthly guarantee: 60 hours @ $59.00 hr for FO. That's $3540 after taxes you are talking a whopping $2,480 a month take home pay for 20 days or more a month away from home. Just not worth it.

If people are upgrading in less then a year, that speaks volumes about the working conditions.

when are you people going to get it?

Hourly wage means Jack!!!!!!
w2 gross at year end vs number of days gone from home.

period.

plus health, travel, 401k, and any other things you negotiate.

Or about expansion/retirements.

Speaking of how good it is at Southern, have they stopped firing guys for posting on the internet so you can start your own thread instead of jacking this one and boasting about your bonuses in a thread about furloughs at another carrier? Just wondering.

Wow... A 747 Captain is making 100 grand a year!

Shouldnt you make like 2 to 3 times that being a widebody international captain and all?

This profession has gone down the crapper.

Dude, it's second year pay. I don't know too many places where you can pull 2-3 times that in you second year.
