Why don't the regionals bring back PFT?

[ohplease!]

actually I don't have any problem with flamebait. Its great fun when you're bored and I'm bored out of my skull after being off for a month. I'm ready to fly in some really sh!tty wx.

I'm too lazy to go looking through the DAL contract, but some contracts prohibit PFT. They might not even be able to do it if they wanted to.

My using Delta as an example was to point out that many/most wannabes see Delta as one of their goal airlines in which to work for. With today's instant gratification generation, I was curious as to how many of you would pay, and how much, if you could buy your way to Delta.

 

[ohplease!]

Not me. I was well prepared for fist year pay. Our second year F/O pay is $122/hr, 118,950/yr. How does that compare with your pay?[/quote]
another rhetorical question but I'll answer for them purely out of fun.....it doesn't! It compares more like a wet dream I'd like to have...:beer:

Classic! Anybody would go to UPS. That doesn't change the crappy first-year pay, which covers your training costs.

If thats how it must be looked at, well.....I want in anyway!

Flying on the back side of the clock for a significant majority of my lifetime, reducing my life expectancy, no thanks.

the rest of us clearly got it....

... even if it pays $200k

Actually, I think the whole thread is just flamebait. Check the original poster's history. He's always posting flamebait crap.

As opposed to your posts which are just plain crap.

PCL is being defensive. He didn't initially get your sentiment, so he claims it's flame. I think it's an interesting topic to discuss.

Good for you. Have fun at pinnacle.

I do too. I'd be interested in finding out how many of you, currently at the regionals, would pay to go to an airline like Delta or some other legacy that most of you had your sights on when you started flight training.

The percentage of regional pilots willing to pay to go to DAL is probably about the same percentage as UPS FOs willing to buy the left seat or a better schedule.

Whether we like it or not a certain percentage of humans are going to be willing to stab others in the back to move up. Its not unique to pilots and it will never go away. If you are not one that is predisposed to this type of behavior, take pride in your personal accomplishments and don't envy the advancement of others who don't follow your personal morals.

Browntothebown, (aka full of the brown stuff!) Lame attempt at flamebait.

You can count me out of that. If you think that I would pay one more $0.01 to be gone all the time and forced to work every holiday just so I can have some lame airline job and strut around the terminal in a lame sub commander get-up, think again. The sooner I can get out of this smoking crater of an industry, the better--I'm certainly not going to pay more money to stay in it! And while I may have had my sights set on a legacy when I started my flight training, I was over it by the time I hit my instrument rating. I love the "flying" part of airline flying, but defnitely not the "airline" part.

And that goes for UPS too.

And might I add, the recent proliferation of obtuse comments such as this one are a sad indicator of the rapidly increasing worthlessness of flightinfo.

Wow...sounds like you've changed your opinion quite a bit in the last several months at SkyWest?

Instant gratification strikes again. Everybody who didn't get on with a major by 25 should just quit right now.

Buh bye!!

 

[outtahere]

I can tell you how many would buy a job at Delta, just look at how many have a 737 type before even getting an interview at Southwest.

It's not fair. I'm sure his aviation university/flight school "promised" him, that with their degree, he would be on with a major by now.
