and make your own choice after finishing training with Delta.
..........while you are busy paying off your credit card, cus Delta doesn't pay for lodging while you're in training.
repeat after me: Delta, Delta, Delta, no $$$ cattle $$$$$ call $$$$ for $$$ you. You are better then that....$$$$ you don't need their money $$$$.
Just curious why you dont see all the altern ego LCC airlines (ie Skybus, JB, AT, VA, and maybe more to come) all encroaching domestically as a threat to SWA over the next ten years?
It would seem to me that international is the place to be with Asia growing faster than any other economy and international landing slots working as a natural barrier to entry for new blood such as so called "LCC international operators" trying to get in.
1) If US Airways is making money now out of BK already I would say there is a very high probability Delta will emerge and be profitable in not too long as well
2) Dont be surprised when you see Delta bank a half billion dollar year after having shed so much operating cost after 911. I predict this will happen no later than three years from now in 2010. This will finaly put the pilots back in the drivers seat for negotiations again.
3) I have a hard time believing the 777 and potentialy 787 will pay less than the SWA 737 for very long. Prior to 911 wasnt the top pay on the 777 over $300 an hour at Delta? Food for thought anyway. SWA is a great operation and there are many positives things to be said about it but if you went on historical data going with the top player at any given time usually means you will be much lower on the totem pole later on.
4) My dad had a standing offer with TWA (they were the bomb diggity then) back in the sixties but for some reason (hes still not sure why) he stayed at a smaller operation. after 37 years of flying, one buyout and three mergers he ended up number one at NWA his last three years making a paycheck he never would have dreamed of (hes a very conservative guy with money). His pilot brethren over at TWA were by then making half his wage and ultimately as we all know TWA went under.
5) You wont know if you made the right choice until the end of your career but look at history...Good Luck!
So how do you go about paying off that heavy loan for that 737 type?
