What about being home every night is not quality of life for you? Or do you not know anything about it since based on your profile you've clearly never had to fly away from your family and kids (if you even have any) for any period of time?

Dude, get at least one real type rating on your resume before you start running your mouth to pilots that might have been flying when you were born.

This place is filled with idiots, why do I keep coming back?? My wife is right, these message boards are for losers, I need to get off them and get into the real world.

Let's see...

I don't update my profile...but I fly for a 121 carrier...so yes I have overnighted/worked on Christmas.

I don't waste a lot of time on here...because I have a life outside of bickering that flies the biggest shiny jet for the smallest amount of money

And last but not least, you are a tool, good luck getting hired at a respectable company when SkyBus follows in the footsteps of Independence.

And one more, how does it feel to bring down the industry standards as a whole? Or to know that a captain at the company I work for flying a 50 or 70 seat aircraft would make more cash, have better work rules, and job stability than you? Just a question…I am sure you have some ridiculous answer.

All these idle threats about my needing luck to get a "respectable" job after Skybus fails make me laugh. I'm furloughed from American, and I though in 2001 when I was a new hire that I had a respectable job.. I found out the hard way that life doesn't always go the way you plan. Let's hope your life does Mr. CFI turned 121 pilot (probably Mesa FO).. though I'm willing to bet it's not going to.

Not Mesa...I promise you that. I do fly for a respectable regional.

I just don’t understand why someone would defend a company like SkyBus so early on…that would be like flying for Mesa…or Go Jet…etc.

To each his own I guess. I just personally do not care for them. That was the only point I was trying to make.

Wow dude.. easy with the HTML Code..

The reason I defend them is a) they're NOTHING like GoJets or Mesa, but you wouldn't know that since all you know of them is from FI.com, and b) I plan to work for them and make a career there... and I will revel in the day when you and your pears here are coming in for an interview and I somehow garner that you held this angry negative attitude back in 2007... I reminds me of what my friend, a Southwest captain told an old airforce friend of his when he asked him to help him get on with Southwest last year after shunning them in 2000 when he went to Delta.. "I guess you're prepared to eat crow now?"

You are pretty smug. How many startups have claimed to be the next Southwest? Saying it don't make it so.

How many startups have what Kit Darbey calls the two most important ingredients for success.. Capital, and Top Quality Management?

$160 in start up capital (adjusted for inflation, that's still more than JetBue and far more than Southwest, Airtran, and all others prior)

4 top Southwest managers (one a former DO, and another the Marketing Executive who was instrumental in Southwest's growth in the 90's), 2 Ryanair execs, an ex-Continental (Bethune apprentice) for CEO, former DAL DO for their DO, and others with impressive credentials..

This is the business model: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryanair

today, Ryanair has a market cap bigger than Southwest and their market Europe is a smaller market (based on number of flying passengers) than the US.

If I were a betting man, I'd ben on this horse..

Be careful about saying that around your new Ranger pears oh sry peers. There are GoJetters over there including a current ranger rick checkairman making a whopping 80K a year.

 

[Buddro]

A whole 80K for a check airman on the Airbus.....WOW. People never amaze me. I gotta say, this industry is absolutely PITIFUL!

Good luck justifying that one bud....guys that work there are worse than the pilots of Mesa, GoJets and the like.

Amazing....uke:

just curious, who said anything about Check Airman pay? I don't even know what it is and I'm a newhire. You know something I don't?

Line captains are making $85-90 as 1st year CA's.. so I don't see how a Check can make any less..
