Any rumors about opening up OAK base?
Do you guys still have trips starts out of OAK?

Thanks again, BIG B.

Not likely, the OAK base closed last year, everything is out of NY now.

On average, how much are FO's, 1-3 years, making per month?

 

[bigboeings]

On our current pay rules, first year about 55-65, third year 75-90 depending on how much you want to work. Overtime is the only way to make any money here.

How does it feel to fly such a big jet for such a small paycheck?

 

[vixin]

How many days per month are you working? How are the other benefits? How long to upgrade?

How does it feel to fly such a big jet for such a small paycheck?

How does if feel to have such a small one?

 

[bigboeings]

Minimum days off are 12, usually have anywhere from 14 or so. Not really any other benefits to speak of, besides a matching 401k, and its about 4 yrs on the upgrade right now.

Does World still own you guys? If so any talk of integreation, or how is managment using the two companys? With World's pilots under contract for the near future, does either group expect managment to try the whipsaw and threat of furloughs to get concessions or at least keep pilots on a short leash.

 

[bigboeings]

Yes World Holding still does own us. There is no talk that I know of about integration, who knows down the road, we are currently working on our on first contract, but it is not going very quickly. Both sides are looking at growth for now.
