F9 does have some of the best crews to work with. That can not be argued. But the posts about narrow body FO at the legacies making more than an Ca at F9 is the problem. And that's at year 3. Don't forget about the 16% into retirement, and better cheaper health care.
But at least you can pay a surcharge for your spouse and kids here. And Make lowest pay, lose money when you're displaced or don't take extensions, and stay in horrible hotels. They better wake up. Pilots now have a choice, work somewhere good or here. Wait, I know a great solution....implement a training contract??? Two year upgrade? That sounds great but getting fo's to sit in those seats is about to be an issue.
Sorry Aero.
I've read a few comments about bad hotels the last couple of weeks. Anybody care to be a little more specific? I interviewed last month and looked through the the the bid packet (DEN) and noticed most the hotels were Starwood and Marriott properties. There were a few IHG properties, but they seemed to be the minority. I think Starwood and Marriott offer great hotels even at the base level, but what have you guys been seeing?
