Makes me wish I'd gone the cargo route

Doesn't every airline have that? You know the dropping trips thing?

No, they don't.

Nope, but at Cathay we get paid a salery each month no mater what. I get 6 weeks of vacation a year, and about 16 days off a month with no reserve! I was gone 4 days in November and got paid $5,900 after taxes! Each airline has advantages and disadvantages.. We can bid for days off and leave weeks, that's about it.

The boxes that ride on Southwest serve coffee....among other things.

Old women? Right, we are not talking about TWA here...this is SWA!! Babes, all of 'em.

Reminds me of what one of you guys said to me when I was dating a SWA F/A...

SWA Captain: "I am sick of TWA guys coming over here and dating our flight attendants!
Me: Well it's not like we're gonna date our own.
SWA Captain: Good point.

True story, but it was all in fun in case I offended anybody.

75M--I'm assuming your wife is not home looking over your shoulder... TC

 

[75M]

No but she does that sometimes, so I need to be careful. I'll just have to explain that the game changed at TWA when we spooled up hiring in 1999/2000

...TWA guys coming over here and dating our flight attendants...

Thats called poaching.

A buddy told me one of his friends, who was a Captain at Eastern, was able to convince his wife he only made $1800 a month.


Smart guy, or bubble head wife,...not sure which.
