Regional FOs: Check out NetJets

Milk costs $5/gal? Where the F do you live?

Not like pass bennies are worth a crap these days anyway!!!

Don't get me started. We at ASA go to buddy pass priority AND have to pay $5/segment, $0.01 per mile starting Dec 1. We won't be getting on any planes anyhow! :angryfire

I hate working 4 day trips, can't imagine working for 7 days in a row.

Atlanta. And milk costs ~$4.79 here now.

I agree with you on that one, but remember you also get 7 days off. Their vacation works out to 3 weeks off at a time. Not bad.

 

[asayankee]

yeah....but how tired/pissed are you at the end of a 4 day????

Ask the NJ guys how they feel about the 7/7.
The only guys I've heard complain about the schedule are those who don't work there.

I live in Cincinnati, milk is 2.50 a gallon ALL the time.

You're on CRACK to say milk is $4.79 in ATL. Maybe in NYC but in ATL.....It's a bit exaggerated, ya think?

7 days on is looooong.

7 days off is like a vacation compared to the airline schedules.

It's all personal preference.

I'm a regional FO, NOT on the RJ, and put up with a lot of sh...err, stuff. Just got a TA that seems to be 'adequate'. I don't like some parts of my career, but for what I want to do, i.e., fly big airplanes built by Boeing or Airbus, I think I'm in the right place.

Will a fractional job help me toward that goal?

Probably not, we don't hire pilots who have SJS.
Enjoy ASA.

You are CLUELESS if you think the proposal you got was "adequate."

Skybus is looking for pilots in the AIRBUS. You probably stand a good chance of getting a job there.

After numerous offers to fly "heavy jets" and weighing the options with my family, I realized the dream of flying a "big" jet wore off a LONG time ago. I'm in for job stability and QOL now.
