How long were you on reserve? How many days off are you averaging now? I just got on line this month and am trying to get an idea what to expect my first year..

Congrats...

 

[islandhoper]

I average 15 days off a month. However I do pick up some open time to help pay the bills...

I had up to 19 days off on a month or as little as 8 after picking up a bunch of flying...

Welcome on; Enjoy the ride!

Good, more good news! Any body else?!

My 'roids seem less inflamed today. A little less, anyway.

We were able to stay above 10,000' to go fast which meant we got on the ground sooner and I got to the bathroom just before I shat myself.
Man, that was scary.

How do the stand-up lines work at Airtran? How many do you do in a row and all that good stuff? I know most people hate stand-ups, but I live in ATL and it might be nice to be home every single day.

Blue skies everyone...

What do you think about flying the 717 after your first year?

 

[semperfido]

way ta go

 

[PCL_128]

is air tran a "major"?

Oh boy, here comes this crap again.

 

[Daveman]

............

The times the are a changin'...

 

[-9Capt]

why would anyone think you were gloating having to fly 1000 hrs for 45k?............

Any person who can read on a 4th grade level can see that he flew 728hrs. He effectively made $62.61/hr, not too bad for first year probation pay at ANY airline.

Congrats. islandhopper.
