I have been saying that for years on this board.

Unfortunately, most guys don't seem to grasp the concept . . . . it's not a common seniority list, it's simply a minimum pay for each aircraft type. Your own union (ALPA, in-house, IBT, whatever you have elected to represent you) can always negotiate more, but never less. That would level the playing field for all carriers and take pilot pay off the table.

As for the minimum pay rates, think Delta 2001.

Ty,

Maybe they're just trying to get that 500 PIC 121 that yall require, so they can come over to Airtran.

 

[CA1900]

You are "Personally" taking the responsibility for 150+ individuals (including the crew) for a whopping $65,000/yr.

I weep for the poor bastard who has to ride in an A319 configured for 150 people. Ugh.

Ty,

Maybe they're just trying to get that 500 PIC 121 that yall require, so they can come over to Airtran.

That requirement is not set in stone. I have helped two guys on this board get hired without it . . . . .

And do you know how many times those ungrateful SOB's have mowed my lawn, detailed my car, or powerwashed my house in appreciation? Zilch. Zero . . . Zip . . . . Nada . . . . . Guys, are you listening? :smash:

From now on . . . no more Mr. Nice Guy . . . . that'll be a requirement . . . . no rec . . . 'til you powerwash my deck. No vote, 'til you wash my boat. No call, 'til you do it all. :laugh:

Can't wait for Spring . . . . . . Heh-heh!

"Workin' at the car wash- yeah! . . . wo-oh. wo-oh wo-oh, wo-ah"!

Well then dang it man, what does a south'n brotha have to do to get the hook up? And a fellow former Westwind driver at that. Ready to resign the 5 year seniority number right now.

Heck I thought I remembered you being in Mobile at one point right?

Have shammy, will travel.

 

[Ty Webb]

We dropped Mobile years ago . . . . must have been spending too much time in Sammy's, talking to girls in their jammies . . . .

We get our Gulf Coast on in Pensacola and Guff-port, though!

PM me . . . . see what I can do.
