What's weak about it?? The guy was sharing information that a lot of people on this message board would be interested in. I think you have a little rectal cranial inversion going on there buddy.

If you think you're better than all of us, I doubt you have more education and advanced degrees than I do....
 
You can have a degree in every subject on the planet, still won't make you smart professor fido.

You're not going to tell us how big your weiner is, are you?

Is there supposed to be a huge announcement soon. I keep hearing Alaska might be involved somehow. Possibly a merger or complete buy out of Airtran. Just what I've been hearing, no validity to the statement.
 
Thanks for the info IslandHopper, I just started and it's good to see some numbers! Just trying to get through training and make it to the line!

Contrary to what others think, I appreciate the info

Seems the experts agree semperfido. You have much more important things to do. Why don't you go do them.

Thanks for posting said info.
 
Upgrades are running about two and a half years, Semper Fubar, so put that in your C.V. and schmoke it. . . .

The twelfth year pay here is comparable to Legacy SNB pay, and I suspect that a eighth year CA (and up) here has a better schedule than his 8 yr CA Legacy counterpart, if such an animal exists.

Semper Fool- why don't you go back to your ivory tower and play with your sheepskin. . . . .!
 
Alaska and AirTran would make sense.
How many MD-83 parts can be interchanged with the B717?
Probably a lot. Some of AS's MD-83's are long in the tooth, but the lessee's don't have any use for them..."Here AS, you fly them and pay us a very small amount of money for them."
Has anyone noticed that the new Alaska Pay Scales top out at the same level as AirTran's?
Customer service training should be relocated to Seattle because that southern charm just ain't werkin'.
What would AS do about the existing codeshares? Keep them in place? AirTran would then be codeshare partner with ... DELTA!!!!!
All this would happen just about the time LUV moves to BFI or PAE!
mach_none, what have you heard?
 
SemperFido,

Judging by the number of posts you have made on this site, I'd say you are pretty familiar with what goes on here. Talking about money etc. is pretty much off limits in most social circles and I don't think anyone one here would disagree. However, I don't know your name as you don't know mine. This area on the site has and will continue to provide important information about the airlines that are currently hiring to those who are either in the training pipeline, or are seeking out employment with an airline. Most of us would never walk up to an airline pilot from an airline we were interested in and point blank ask him what he made his 1st year. This forum provides those type of answers to people who have the couth not to ask this type of question in an inappropriate way. Get it? All of the airline pay scales are public information however each contract differs greatly making a direct comparison using hourly wages only very difficult. Having someone give out the realistic #'s on here as an anynomous poster helps out others.
