AA put out some propaganda a few weeks ago that stated Virgin America had lost their financing.

Haven't heard anything new since then.

 

[Mr Zog]

I hope those rates are in english pounds.

Notice the word "propaganda" in my post.

I'm not claiming it to be fact, just putting out there what other airlines are pushing.

I hope those rates are in english pounds.

Hope they're not Canadian dollars...

You don't that rich by investing your own money.

That's pretty sad, whats even worse they will line up for miles for that job! By the looks of it, 1 st year Capt pay is what $60.00 an hour? If these rates are true, then all the pilots will be commuters! How can you live in CA, especially the bay area on those wages?
