Whose going?

 

[AA717driver]

Gotta get an interview and find out the pay scale. (Nothing personal to those who have posted the info they have on the pay.) TC

P.S.--Oh yeah, have to get hired in one of the first few classes, too.

 

[HA25]

what is the stigma over it? Seems like a lot of guys are avoiding it from what I'm reading.

 

[Fins Up]

SCAB AIRLINE! SCAB AIRLINE!

Just kidding.

 

[instructordude]

I'm interested.

 

[F9 Driver]

I heard from a checkairman at CAE that we lost a junior FO to them.

Street captain at 90K.

I haven't heard they started hiring the lower time, no pic in type guy's yet but maybe they have. I have a feeling the flood gates are about to open at that place. I know we have a lot of guy's waiting for the call here.

 

[F9 Driver]

I don't know what the guy's quals were, but would guess he had some experience to be hired early (or knew someone:0)

 

[Speedbird87]

I was hired by VA. Start training in Dec. Capt Pay 95hr 70hour guarantee. Looks like it's going to be a fun place to work unlike where I have been for the last 20 years.

Ahhhhh yes and the further erosion of our pay and benefits continues.

I assume that you are leaving UAL or USAir. With 20 years you should be able to hold the 400 or 777 captain at UA, VA must be one hell of a place. If your leaving the latter then I'd be curious how it plays out for you, good luck (sincerely).

says he's an A320 FO now, so I'm assuming it wasn't UAL.

 

[Speedbird87]

20 reserve F/O A-320 with one maybe 2 senority list to merge with.Guess U

So how are things in Scottsdale V70T5?

good, you?

btw.. good work on the lat/long.

 

[YourPilotFriend]

Actually, you have to wait and see the fare structure. The cost of the pilot is virtually nothing on the ticket.

 

[HA25]

Balderdash! We all know the reason this industry is in turmoil is that pilots are way over paid!

 

[AA717driver]

Man, $95/hr. even at 80 hours is a couple grand a month shy for me. Oh well... TC

Flood gates? Who is gonna want to fly the left seat of a 320 for $95hr????? I thought rates here at NWA were the worst ,but $95hr 320CA is shameful. Blanket party for anyone taking that crap...

Dude, stick it out at USAir. VA is a crock. Richard Branson can go take a hike.

better not

 

[Speedbird87]

Why ? so i can be sloted into the sen list with 3 yr AWA F/O and never upgrade .I would rather leave and work for Branson then remain at UAir

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Pretty balmy here at 25.808451N/80.267979W

Getting caught up on flight control laws and saying "Clear ECAM" a lot.

Emotional decision and all yours to make. Branson is a kok sucker. U think he pays his Virgin Atlantic Captains $95. He can stick it up his rear end!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out what UAir pays its 25 yr Airbus Capts and its 20 yr F/O at Airlinepilotcentral.com.125/85hr
