An opportunity to regain 76 seat flying bypassed?????

[PuffDriver]

From Jon Rivoli:

I'm 42, I make over $100k, I get 16 days off a month and am never away from home more than two nights a week. I also like the flying that I do and the people that I work with. The big money at the legacies is flying internation, two hours and I need to piss and stretch my legs.

Yawn.

Another regional pilot who has the whole industry figured out. Never mind that you are dead wrong on legacies. I am younger than you, have better work rules, make more, have more vacation, work the same, could work much less if I chose.

BTW, even international pilots stretch their legs every couple of hours.

But at least you are impressive in your own mind.

Was anyone talking to you??? Guys who try and brag about their wages, days off, better-life-than-this-guy need bitch-slapped. He got it.

Kinda like what you just did? You've got a bitch-slap coming, mister.

He sure does. I gather from his other posts that he is a NW/Delta. So if he's younger than me, he's about to spend a few years on furlough. But hey, if he's young he'll do great in the long run and may even upgrade around 2028. I'm happy, he's happy. It's all good.

Didn't mean to sould like I was bragging, just saying that what I have is good enough for me. Sure senior pilots at legacies have a lot more, but that is not an option open to me or a lot of other guy's.

1) He is original DAL (not former NW).
2) I think he is a Captain already.
3) We have no plans to furlough. Not saying it won't happen, but right now it doesn't look like it. If anything, 50 seater will be cut a lot(at least that's the latest word). May mean more DC-9 flying, may mean trading 50's for 76 seat flying(not 1 for 1). But we are not talking furlough!

..and do you think there was a reason behind it? Think about it, sparky, and get back to me.

Well said, sir. ACL can probably fill us in better than I.

Sorry to disappoint you. Wrong on all accounts, except the NWA/Delta. Been captain for quite a while, longer than you I venture to guess.

Oh really? then would you care to explain these quotes--also from you.

Stay were you are and in no time you will be flying 100 seats.

I think I can be content flying 100 seaters here at SkyWest

You don't have 100 seaters, and it sounds as if you not only would be content with what you want, but with what others have as well. THAT mentality is why you are, and will, be relegated to your regional status--right there with the merchant. I am glad that you are content with where you are. I just have to wonder if it is going to start going away. <hint> It is.
