I don't think you know what you are talking about.
I quoted someone who said that. I did not say it. I sent an email
to an instructor I know who said it was not true. So go read my posts.
Once again I did not say it.....understand now?
Start with post number 10 and you will see that I was asking where
the guy who started all this got his info from.

"more pay and more says off"??
If you had a college degree you could improve your spelling.

Yip would fly a 737 for $200 a day.
This goes to prove that just like the college dgre has nothing to do with flying an airplane, it has nothing to do with speeling eitehr. See waht a Master's degree will do for you.


For the speeling plocie

i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! If you can raed tihs forwrad it.


BTW $200/day, naaa, but maybe if I was unemployed.

It is not all that bad guys. I commute, I am a 2nd year FO on the 190. I spent 15 nights in my own bed in November and will gross just a little over 10k in my December checks. Yes this is not normal and I got a bit lucky during the Sandy issue, holiday pay, and another wx issue. The point is while we do have a bit of work to do it is not all bad. Find me another 2nd year FO at any other passenger airline that spent 15 nights in there own bed while commuting and grossed over 10k. Also spent 19 nights in my own bed in October while crediting 100 hours of pay. So if you are willing to learn the system and put a little effort into makeing your life better it isn't as bad as the internet tough guys all say it is. That being said I will always be a yes vote do to the protections that I believe a CBA will give us over our PEA's. Do your research, choose the best you can, and decide if you made good choices when you turn 65.

Lets see just over 10 grand I doubt that very much.That would be 78 hr at 64 an hour and 53 hours at time and a half. I really doubti with 15 ays off. I am a 320 FO on 6 year pay with holiday and 15 days off will bearly hit that at 98 hr straight pay.

It's like they're anticipating... people not wanting to work here... Like they think people will leave and need to attrack pilots with less qualified back grounds?

Why? Why would this be?

Yeah no kidding.. I know of a lot of furloughed guys/gals who would like to have a job. No matter where it might be. It will be awesome watching just out of flight school 1500 ATP's get hired at JB over the next few years.. Meanwhile kicking the nuts of those who are truly qualified, but too experienced in the ways of wanting to be treated well.
