What's your dream airline job?

[dispatchguy]

Dispatcher, or dispatch standards/training/check dispatcher somewhere, with the power to change things and make dispatchers a full part of the flight ops team.

Or a honey bucket driver...

 

[suupah]

Colgan air! duh.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

SkyBus - if they ever bring it back!

I'd like to see what it's like making paltry (read:janitor) wages as the PIC of an A320.

 

[samballs]

Any job that gets me out of the airlines

Most school janitors make a hell of a lot more than any regional pilot and major FOS

Back in the 80's it was Eastern, But right now I'm very happy where I'm at

I'm sure. Don't take me too literally. Many occupations pay better than the regionals top scales. But ~$65K as a 320 skipper is just too little. Perhaps in Croatia it's a boatload. Meh...

 

[COOPERVANE]

Janitor in Croatia?

 

[AV1ATRX]

Whatever airline is still in business and has a base I can drive to start my trips. If that doesn't happen, I'll be driving to my regional job until I retire or they go out of business.

 

[say again]

Is there such thing as a dream airline job these days?

Yes... One where Captains can make over $300,000/yr, F/Os $200,000/yr. Have a rock solid, fully funded pension plus lucrative DC plan. Fly widebodies internationally at a junior seniority, if desired. And can work as little or as hard as you like.

 

[Captain Morgan]

Delta... Why do you set your goal so low?

It is what you make of it.

 

[LearLove]

I'll settle for the one I'm at now but I'd like to be greater than half way up the list and hope it stays around for about 30 more years. Toss in no more mergers, greedy/crooked CEO's/management or dipsh1t giveaway/outsource everything union(s) and I may just be able to make it to 60 without keeling over from a stress heart attack.

For a long time it was United, but ended up at Netjets. Very happy here.

Hi!

Easy:
DAL, AA, Alaska, Mexicana, WestJet, SWA, AirTran, Allegiant, BA, Virgin, KLM, AF, Lufthansa, SAS, Cathay, Emirates, Air Arabia, Etihad, Ethiopian, Kenya Airways, Saudi, JAL, ANA, Singapore, Virgin Blue, Quantas, Air Tahiti Nui, Air Europa, Atlas, Condor, South African, Royal Air Jordanian, Qatar, KAL, Air India, Thai Airways, Vietnam Airlines, Swiss, and I'm sure there are quite a few others I have left out.

Flying for any of them would be fantastic!!!

Unless, of course, you're one of the pilots at any of the above airlines that constantly bitches about how crappy your job is and how horrible your airline is. Please quit your job so I can have it!!!

LOL atpcliff!

Hows that Africa job working for you? BTW no 'u' in Qantas

 

[jeroom]

A flying job outside the airlines...

 

[waka]

(insert scumbag regional/cargo/fractional here), because it couldn't get any worse.

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

Nairobi is, overall, going very well. Much better than I was expecting. However, ALL of the above airlines would be much better than this job.

Oh, and I'll repeat, this is one of those "flying jobs outside the airlines" that is much worse than a job at any of the airlines listed above.
