When it rains, it pours

Another sign of the impending June 2007 hiring boom

You're kidding right?

 

[pilotyip]

Adam, no not at all. The signs are all here, lower end airlines are having trouble filling classes, my pool half life has dropped nearly 50% in the last 2.5 years, and the volumn of jobs ads being placed on climbto350. That is the good news, there will be lots of jobs, the bad news it they are not the jobs that get the long lines at the job fairs.

Yeah I know what you mean. Everyone wants to fly a 777 but nobody wants to fly the c-402 to get there.

Tell me about it...we pay fairly well for 402 drivers and yet it's like pulling teeth to find someone to a) want the job and b) move to where the job is.

"Can I commute from Timbuktu to Reno???"

"No...that's a 6 hour drive each way."

"Well...can you rent me an apartment?"

"No...we have a crew apartment at the domicile in MHR."

"What about my dog? Can my dog fly with me?"

"Huh? "

"What about my dog? Can my dog fly with me?"

Well, can he?

 

[Lostdog65]

Well, can he?

You want the short answer or the long answer???

Ah heck...I'll give you the short answer.

No.

Next question.

Last time we were in MSP she saw one stealing a USA Today and she nearly came in her pants.

[edited to delete reference to CRJ operator flyf15 is going to...with 600 hrs, I think ya'll can figure it out]

You mean to say you pay for the USA Today? I didn't know it was for sale or how much it costs.

I read that PIA (as in Pakistan) can't find enough 777 Capts. They keep leaving for other companies.

From 777 in PIA to 7-11 in MIA?

 

[mar]

Perhaps?

From 777 in PIA to 7-11 in MIA?

Better hours?
Better retirement?

Who knows?

Yeah I know what you mean. Everyone wants to fly a 777 but nobody wants to fly the c-402 to get there.

I wish i could stay in my 402 but get 777 pay.
