I love it here.. I just got off reserve in memphis this month (4 months total of rsv) - have all the weekends off.. Lots of flying (which is good for me), quick upgrades, and a great pilot group. Pay could be better but you can live (barely) on first year pay if you are single and live within your means. A pay raise and better QOL will come with the contract, that will happen within 6 months I predict.. As far as airplanes getting taken away, I have 2 thoughts there. First, NWA will not take em away b/c they need them in the system. Second, even if they took all 17 away tommorrow we would still not furlough- we would actually be staffed correctly for once. If you happen to live in MEM, DTW, MSP, or IND- or even one of the 9E served cities your commute won't be bad and you will enjoy your time here. This isn't a career place, but its a really smooth stepping stone. Enjoy your time here and if you need some help in training drop me a PM, I live in Mem and would be glad to meet up with you and explain stuff you may not understand.
