    Should captain pay top out at 150K?

    So some think that senior captains should be making nearly $1million/yr, when factoring inflation? That is probably not going to happen .. ever, and no airline could afford that, and not go into bankruptcy a few years down the road. If you look at what anybody was making, in the 70's, nobody...

    oil going back up....

    I agree. Oil still below $100. Speculators would be crazy to allow price to jump too high, again, afterall, much of the reason the price has been going down, is due to a fall in demand, because of the high prices. As for those who listen to these "analysts". We are supposed to have $200 oil at...

    Money, or QOL?

    Thank you all very much for your replies. My entire family works in career fields, outside of aviation. I have oberved family members, as they have taken pay cuts, benefit cuts, been laid off, etc. I do realize that no career can guarantee a big pay check, or long term stability. What each...

    Money, or QOL?

    This is not another one of those, "Is is worth it?", threads. I have searched, and read through several of those. I am posing a different question. I am interested to hear your input. I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong forum. If you were offered a non-flying job, obviously, outside...

    W2's 2007

    $21,334.81 First year customer service agent/ramp rat for a regional airline. Above pay includes nothing but hourly pay, i.e, no 401k, etc. included. Did not pick up any overtime, except for when I had to (waiting on a delayed flight, etc). Clocked out early many times, when able, obviously w/o...

    Lowest/Highes paying jobs

    I would also rather make $70K, and enjoy my job, than $100K, and hate my job. I too, do not want to become a pharmacist. It doesn't appeal to me. At the same time, I don't want a job that I constantly have to worry about being furloughed from, and starting over at square one, again; especially...

    Lowest/Highes paying jobs

    I once tried to stick up for pilot pay, as not being so bad, but I am beginning to see just how much people can make, outside of aviation. It isn't all peaches and cream, but I know of plenty of people who graduated school with starting salaries of $60K+, in various careers, including some, that...

    DELTA fact or fiction.

    Out of curiosity, what effect will mergers have on hiring? Will it slow, but not stop hiring, or will it result in furloughs? I've seen a few comments, from people, anticipating massive furloughs in 2008-2009, due to mergers. I think something needs to be done, to raise fares, but if merging...

    Flying for a living

    I know of a few people who got fed up with aviation, quit, thinking they could make so much more money, outside of aviation, as many of you do, and they are now miserable, and wish they had stayed in aviation. One is trying to get back in. The grass isn't always greener. If you are a regional...

    5.75 yrs to hold MD-11 Captain at UPS

    What do you mean? All I am saying this whether a 3rd year CA at UPS makes $160K or $250K, it is still better money than they were making as an FO, an certainly better than they were making as a regional captain.

    5.75 yrs to hold MD-11 Captain at UPS

    $160k / $250k ... either way it is still a great salary.

    Airline pilot pay

    Actually, even $80K is included in the top 10% of income, according to the Government. I think you are right about captains being hard pressed to find jobs paying the same, elsewhere. You do have your rare person making $250K working some odd job, but for the most part, what a captain at a...

    Airline pilot pay

    You are right, and even doctors don't make as much as they used to. Both of my parents work in the healthcare industry. Most doctors today, unless they are a specialist of some kind (heart, etc.) do not make more than even a junior captain at American or Delta, yet go through 10+ years of...

    Airline pilot pay

    Guys, I'm not saying that pilots are paid plenty, and should just give this issue a rest. I believe pilots deserve every penny they do make, and more. My point is not that because my friend makes $35K as a computer grad, I shouldn't expect more as an RJ FO. My point is that, regardless of what...

    Airline pilot pay

    If you look at the salaries pilots make, , after first year, they aren't really that bad, compared to what typical people are making. BUT .. you are right .. its not as much the salary, as much as it is the break down of duty time vs. actual pay. That is another reason why people have a...

    DD-214 Form

    I need a copy of a DD-214 form for a job. I was in the Guard for literally only a few months. I discharged while in basic training, due to an injury. It was considered "entry level separation". I never received a DD-214 from my Guard unit. I work for Northwest Airlines now, and nothing ever...

    Comar and ASA base question?

    Excuse me for my ignorance, once again, LOL, but what exactly is going on with ASA right now? Are yall in contract negotiations? Are yall looking at possible pay raises, or cuts? Just curious, as I see a lot of ASA threads, but haven't been able to figure out 'exactly' what is going on.
