My hourly rate is 2x starting pay at ASA...and I credit about 40 hrs a week. Perm full time positions pay similarly (I heard $80-95K as expected salaries for senior devs this week).
I've been doing this for 12 years and bring more value than a beginner. Starting out, if you work hard, you're...
I just came back to ATL after spending a year in Santa Fe, NM. I'm a PHP/MySQL web app developer and everywhere I've gone here have heard the same thing, "we have more work than we can do and just signed 2 new contracts...have NO idea how we're going to pull this off, when can you start? What's...

I think once the retirements start, mgmt is going to delay replacement hiring as a tactic to keep your list moving. You'll all be working a lot, moving up the list. Hiring will underpace attrition until you're all convinced the list movement will never stop and are dreaming about...
You're in a LOCKED ROOM and are prohibited from opening the door. An entire RJ full of bloodthirsty savages with razor blades and boxcutters isn't a threat to you.
Two pilot guys who have passed background checks, sitting together in a locked room. The 50 people sitting in the room next door all went through a metal detector or more likely an x-ray scan of their bodies/grope down physical search.
Those pilots seem like the least likely people in all of...
