I wish there will be more jobs like that available for all of us. It is funny how a lot of these jobs, which are rare, land on the lap of ex-airline guys. May be the bosses are impressed by the heavy metal experience they have, even if that does not really apply to the skills set required for a corporate job.
NoSid,
How exactly are you coming up with these astronomical salary/renumeration numbers for 121 guys. I know of a few WN guys who work the system to make flying and max pay. FedEx guys make huge per hour, but how exactly are you getting these numbers up that high? A and B funds are gone, pensions are gone and 401K contributions are simply matches on what you put in.
As for the ex-121 guys getting these glorious jobs, I think that betting on a 777 retiree being able to handle corporate life is like betting on red/black at the roulette table. Some can succeed and others can't hack all the extra work.
