STOP awaiting the "HIRING BOOM" Move on

[701EV]

I work 16 days a month, am home usually half of the day on 8 of those and make over $100,000/year. I get 3 weeks vacation a year, soon to be 4. I usually turn one week into 18-22 days off. (That equals 9 weeks vacation to the ave person). I never see my boss and sometimes get to do cool stuff in other cities. I also can fly for free with my family nearly anywhere in the world.

So, wise one..............where should I "move on to" thats such a better gig???? Name me one place and you can count me in!

79%N1,

Well said brother!!!

And I finally can get the days off that I want, not what the company wants me to have!

Jetboii, yes over 100k easy!

Looks like you got a D+ in math. Have you looked at the current and projected outlook? The data speaks for itself.

You got the junkyard dog on ya bricktop.

100K a year at ASA? Yeah right.

Are you stupid??? My year to date gross is $39,800. That is through April.

 

[ex j-41]

I'll bite. What's the .1%?

+ or - .01% for error.

 

[JettBoii]

No not stupid..just surprised. I had no idea.

Does that total include any operational or profit sharing bonuses that have been paid out this year?

Enjoy it while it lasts. On the great "outsource" merry-go-round, you're one contract capacity agrrment away from being replaced by the next source (airline) of cheap labor.

I guess. If you call the 300 bucks or so we got so far this year.

I believe 79%n1. Senior guys at express that fly their butts off can make 10k a month.

You forgot to add, "on a scheduled day off."

You forgot to add, "on a scheduled day off."

You forgot to add, and no ones is getting any more than contractual minimal amounts of those anymore.

My Job! I won't name my company because I fly a Coporate Jet but it's a Fortune 500 Company. Most months I only work no more then 10 days. I make six figures and get a 10% bonus every profitable year. I don't get a per-diem but the company pays for all expenses. I eat good (went to Ruth Chris the other night) and stay in great hotels. I bring my golf clubs on many trips.
My point......if you don't like the airline industry, try the corporate world!

Funny thing is most non-union corporate gigs pay better than many union airline gigs....Hmmmm....Guess why?

Sounds great! Sign me up!

Wait.....those jobs don't grow on trees, and often are about who you may know. Oh well, that count almost all of us out.

100K a year at ASA? Yeah right.
