Trust Math
You can argue that the math will change, but all of you applicants should note that the planned aircraft orders at VX math show that all of the Captains for a very long time, are already on the property.
Seriously, great people to work with, but the only reason to come to VX now as opposed to the other Legacy airlines that are hiring and paying much much more, is because you cant get hired anywhere else or just want the type rating. (Especially with the brutal FO reserve rules and non commutable schedules).
There's what "Could happen" and there's how it is. The numbers don't lie. The coming staggering retirement numbers and current great pay at the legacy's are facts.
No agenda here, just tired of listening to disappointed FO's who expected Legacy pay and 401k rates to come here. (ie." 7.5% vs 16%). I hope it changes, but as they say, "If you put hope in one hand and *&#( in the other.."
Be happy that at least the industry is hiring. Many times in the past, ...they haven't.
Just puttin' it out there. Best of luck.
