Is there such thing as a dream airline job these days?
Click to expand...


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.
 
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.
 
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!!!

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

SWA, FedEx, UPS, Delta or another legacy? And why do you want to get on there?

I would have to say RAH because they seem to be the next generation to mainline/legacy carriers. I think perhaps it would be as good as those folks who got on with FedEx, UPS, or NetJets early on.

You know, on the surface, this is a sarcastic, flame-baiting quote. But history may prove him right. In 1990, UPS, Fed-Ex and Southwest were where you went if Delta, or American turned you down. Now they are kings of the hill. Who knows what a couple of good contracts and 20 years in the future will bring to RAH.
 
Replace the Concorde, I want to break some windows and call it a day.

No, if I never see the inside of another worthless airport, another less than worthless CRJ, or another dispatch office, then someone just shoot me now.

I am hanging aviation up, for good. All I want is a job where I can be home every night and play with my daughter, and support my family; and living out of a friggin rollaboard just isnt a lifestyle I wanna lead anymore...

ALL airline management are scum, and may they all go to hell...
 
Hi!

Getting a job where you are home every night and can support your family is a big deal. Unless you live in North Dakota and/or have a very small family, this is VERY difficult to do, unless you lead a very austere life relative to an average American.

Usually, it will work if you and your spouse BOTH have jobs, then your chances of being home every night (but your spouse might not be able to), AND supporting your family go way up.

As for supporting my family, only my flying jobs have even come close, and we live in the relatively inexpensive Midwest.

Good luck!

Me and my buddies are saving up to bring back Hooters Air, just as the economy starts to boucne back. Thats the trick, gotta catch the wave at the beginning in order to survive.

Then I will place myself atop the seniority list.
 
Not working for any blood sucking, soulless, commercial cattle car, airline ever again.

I have seen the error of my ways and shall never make that mistake again.
