God, he actually did it.

You can't even fathom a situation where your most junior pilot could have 15 days off a month and a decent qol can you, GL. No bitches here at all

Wow Wavey, if that's the case, you'd never lose anyone, right? Amazing! And I think you should make that a bag tag sticker: "No bitches here at all!"


Funny stuff. That AT 717 FO (6 year guy) I talked to who was sure he was going to OAK for a few months after switching to your side, and knowing he had a two leg commute from TPA, probably would disagree with you. But, according to you, everyone is happy in Corndog land. "No bitches there at all..."


Bye Bye---General Lee

You'd be lying though

I don't have to lie Wavey, and your statement about "No bitches here" totally disregards people who commute, who have to stay on reserve longer or have worse trips (not all of your trips have 2 leg days, are commutable, etc). You sound like the one who could be lying, or just plain delusional. The latter seems most likely. You forgot about all the AT pilots who now need to commute thanks to huge ATL displacements and then allowing ATL to be rebid for everyone (normally in arbitration there would be a no bump and flush type award for a certain amount of years, butttttttttttt, you didn't do that..... )


You're delusional Wavey, and Red is pure NUTS!

Complete BS. I am junior to him and can hold a line in any domicile except ATL and MCO and possibly MDW. I've flown with CAs who have said the same OAK quote. The only reason they'll be in OAK is by choice or they are in the last transition class and there are no other domiciles available.

Same here Phlinstone. Genny tries to pull out some bogus story to sell his 20 thousandth post. But yet he can't cover the fact that Delta narrowbody lines suck. No real rig (4 day trips that pay 20....un-f'n believable). Got to LUV those 3 hour terminal sits at Ma Delta. What a waste of a day.

Do they have a section in newhire training at DL dedicated to the 'Delta Terminal Walk'? You know, review the hat and double breasted blazer requirements for your ground time? Don't forget to review the weather packet in front of the customers at the podium so they all know your SkyGods. Haha.

Hey Scoot, did you pay for ANY ratings? Or did you get them free thru the gubment with a multi-year commitment? We all pay dude, one way or the other.

Doesn't Delta make you pay for lodging during new hire class?

Keep on criticizing SWA circa 2004 GL

You got some dated info there homie

 

[redflyer65]

That 'fictional' pilot Genny talks about could hold...

OAK, PHX, LAS, DEN, MDW, HOU, DAL, and BWI.

Hey sellout! SW has been bringing down the bar far longer than before 2004! You PFT trolls were only catching on to it then!

According to the last vacancy bid 2,532 pilots are based east of the Mississippi and 5,558 are based west. You can make a really good living in the right and get a decent QOL. If you don't care about QOL you can make Capt pay by about year 6-8 from the right seat. I really don't think there is another US carrier that enables you to do that as an FO. That part of SWAs model and the contract has impressed me the most. You are not going to fly to Paris in a 787 anytime soon. You are not going to beat a new hire at AA or DL to the left seat. But if you want to live in base on the west side of the Miss, get off reserve and make a few bucks. SWA is a good choice. If you want to get to the left seat or enjoy a first class meal, look elsewhere first (but still apply to SWA while waiting for that dream job!).

Good advice. Spot on.

Are you going to answer my question or not? Does Delta make you pay for lodging during new hire?

He constantly has to come up with new material to keep the internet hits coming to the site, he's just the rabbit at a dog track. More hits, more revenue. You guys are arguing with a salesman.
