USA Jet getting NWA -9's?

[pilotyip]

Rhoid wake up!

Again I do not know where you get your info or again what you are smoking. Of course USA Jet has contract with ABX, we dry lease their sims, we have been doing it for over two years. The same as we dry lease sims from FSI for our DA-20. We shut down our DC-9 simulator last year because it was more cost effective to lease than update since DC-9 sim rates have stablized. Our training is unique to our style of business. We have no intention of shifting our ground school to ILN, we have some of the finest training facilites in the airline business here at our YIP location.

Randy, just a note on your tagline. I don't really like to fly and I AM in it for the money, that's why I'm going to a major. 100K that you think is large isn't krap for money.

hey Rhoid, have you tried Tucks Medicated Pads yet?

good luck Rhiod

I think you fanning the flames, however you are entitled to your opinions. But still I thing, since I have never seen it, a $100K is good money. However, you can not define someone else's success. I am living my dream and other than some potential missed opportunities, I would not change one thing I have done. It has been an adventure from day one. Also if you do not like to fly this can be a miserable career. If this attitude is detected at the major airline during in the interview process, you may find getting one of those high paying jobs is not all that easy.

Is that what you call it when the thing is really broken? ;-) I do imagine that the rates have changed since USA Jet first got the sim back in what, 2000?

You should try that as a pickup line...I'd bet you would impress all the ladies with that one

You will never see $100K a year at USA Jet! I will be making that and more my second year at a major.

Best of luck, you will need it

Best of luck rhoid, I know too many pilots who tried and never made it to the majors. There is an element of luck and timing that has a greater influence on your career than skill and desire.

Yea flyer, the sim did need repair and upgrade. But with the removal of the DC-9 from most majors and national flying caused DC-9 sim rates to drop and made renting more practical than owning. Remember if flies, floats or is friendly it is better to rent.

Actually, I believe some of the -9 Captains at USA Jet do make over 100k. And good luck making 6 figures your second year at a major. This isn't '99 anymore my little (hem)Rhoid friend. Better stop dreaming and wake up to reality.

Hey YIP, maybe you can put your pissing match with that 16-year old aside and tell me wether that rumor (See subject) is true. Are you guys renewing your bid or not?

Don't you hate it, if some riddle wannabe hijacks your thread?

Maybe Rhoid better just concentrate on learning and becoming a better pilot in his c-150 before he thinks about moving on to a major.

The majors I'm focusing on do/will make over 100K second year.

Rhoid,

I hope you're only 14 right now. Because it's going to be at least that long before there's any majors hiring in any numbers. In case you haven't noticed, there are several thousand guys on furlough. Generally speaking, in my limited experience, airlines do not hire when they have pilots on the street. Of course, I could be wrong. Ah, who am I trying to kid? I'm right!

 

[Rhoid]

There are majors hiring now.
