What'chu talkin' 'bout Dimitry???
Alaskaairlines said: "One thing negative is, the Airline Training Academy owner who who put so many students in a dead end flies for ATA"
One guy at ATA ran a shady flight school, and that is a negative for the rest of the airline?? How do you figure?? How does what one guy does in his own personal business make for a bad mark for the airline??
Alaskaairlines also asked: "Is the pay scale the same without regard of the equipment you fly? "
No, it depends on equipemt, up to a point, then the 737 and 757 pay the same, then diverge again. My situation for example, 4th 757 FO, effective July 1, 03, pay is the same on the 737 or 757. But a 9-12+ year FO on the 757 makes more than a 737 FO, 3rd year is the same, second year the 757 is more, 1st year is the same no matter what plane. L-10 pays more than either the 757 or 737.
p.b. asked: "Someone mentioned the 737 pay a while back. Does anyone here have the actual comparison between ata and sw pay"
That stuff is available on the many contract websites out there, it would take forever to type it all on here. Check here: http://airlinepilotcontracts.com/Contracts/index.htm Both ATA and SWA are included.

It carries alot of people and it is a dog when full. When you are heavy and start to clean up, if you have CL2 selected that power comes WAAAAAYYYYY back and in the back it sounds like the engines have been shut down. Combine that with going from flaps 20 to flaps 5 and you almost have to descend just to keep the speed going up. But if you are expecting that you can deal with it. Or just select CL2 after cleaning up instead of preselecting, or stop the flaps at 15 before going to 5.
