I have heard both sides of the coin. Frankly this is how I look at it....I am going to show up expecting to get paid poverty level pay and working so much it will make your head spin.....and I am hell bent on enjoying every minute of it. I am not expecting any more any less. I am just happy to finally get an airline job. I can not stand people who complain and I refuse to ever do so because I am going in with the attitude that it is going to suck for the first year and so I am going to make the best of it. Once again, if anyone else is going to be there on the 19th, please let me know. CHEERS
The only thing I can agree with you on is that I too was "hell bent on enjoying every minute of it." I hate to spring this on you, but most of us "complainers" started out with the same vigor that you have. I wish you luck. Let us know how you feel in 3 to 6 months. Hope you enjoy long layovers in Valdosta GA, Jackson MS, and other dumpholes that ASA flys to. Wouldn't be so bad if they actually gave a crap about their crews and put them in hotels that aren't in the "crime district".......Just wait my friend. The job becomes, well......a job.
If ASA management doesn't agree on a contract soon, you may be one of a few pilots left at ASA.
By the way..........good luck. Use this as a stepping stone!
