AirTran slowdown?

[airline#5]

Saw a 737 while waiting for at H1 in mco, I heard the same thing from tower. We had to laugh, the CA said "single eng. taxi, I think the APU is pushing them"

That 100k thingy has to be funny math, college friend on 5th yr pay doesn't think he'll break 70 this year.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

He won't unless he's a whore during contact neg. (that will apparently never end). My 4th yr pay will not crack 60k this yr. Sad indeed.

5th year pay at $72 an hour * 80 hours CREDIT per month (960 hours per year including vacation pay) = $5,760 per month = $69,120.

Your friend is correct.

Next time tower has anything to say about taxi speed, kindly ask if there is an emergency, offer to get out of the way if there is, and if not, tell them to STFU.

Average pilot here making over $100k, must not be including fos in that calculation. I am one and not even close to that.

I've seen AA numerous times gradually role all the way to the very end of the runway too after landing, especially if no one is behind them..

Funny stuff. AA management needs to get a clue.

Top Airtran FO pay is 79/hr. Way too low. I know my friends there would like to make more than that, especially after 8yrs to reach that number!

20+ year guys at LCC making $85/hr right seat narrow-body.

 

[redflyer65]

It's all ludicrous...

 

[Colonel Savage]

More like a wide awake nightmare.

I'd like operations pay at AirTran to increase....I'm approaching 6 yrs at the Citrus and made a cool $32,000 last year. Glad I have my CFI gig on the side.

How, LOA??????

Could be he was part of the 169'ers.

I found that after a bitchy female F/O response on the radio a simple click of the mic followed by either one of these response shuts them up.

1. A long "Meeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooooowwwww" sound.
2. Or saying, "Here Kittttttty, Kittttty".

Try it, seems to work for me.

Or a long sigh followed by, "Another empty go-go cage."

Probably not, she'd have to have a decent figure for that, wouldn't she?

 

[Lear70]

There's a few that would certainly qualify... I've flown with a few of them.
