Bottom line is I can work 15 days a month and get 115-135 TFP if I play my cards right and do a little leg work on the computer. Or I can work 12-13 days a month and get about 95-105 TFP.
If I fly more than my guarantee [87/month except feb(85)]....I GET PAID THAT MONTH. It's a good deal. When you go up for your next section six at your company....whoever that is...remember...work rules/rigs/DG/TAFB/ETC can make your W2 go way up[isn't that what counts the most?]. Comparing hours at your company to TFP and the way we do things here is like apples and oranges.
When we do start hiring...to those in the pool and interviewing....we fly a lot of legs and sometimes have long days...but the package is great. :beer:
Hope to see the POOLIES dry real soon for all our sakes.
With over $6 billion in cash, I just don't think so. But, the Majors are doing a great job at keeping you from anymore expansion in places you for some reason want to go (LGA? You didn't want that 5 years ago? Sounds like you are having problems trying to figure out what kind of an airline you are). And, your own CEO is saying very little growth this year and maybe next (can we all say MERGER???). So, as certain legacies expand, you contract or stay FLAT. (sounds like your personal problem) And TFP this, and TFP that....who cares? Your flying is boring. You fly one plane forever, with multiple legs per day. How many Wall Streeters get paid more than you do but are totally bored? Probably a lot. Give it a few years, you will turn in your app at a legacy just to regain your sanity. I bet right now you fall asleep saying to yourself "Armadillo, Midland, Lubbutcheaks, Harlingen, Islip, Boise, Islip, Cleveland, Odessa, El Paso..." Please, enjoy all of those, and try to record that song. I bet it will sell in the HOU crew room....
Bye Bye--General Lee
