No flame, but why is anyone considering either of the POS airlines. I just don't get it. All it is doing is fueling the low pay and poor QOL. It is the same thing as the $h!tier regionals only able hire 250 hour guys.
Is it one of those... "I've always dreamed of flying for United", or "My father flew for NWA" things?
A lot of people on here b!tch and b!tch about their POS airlines and then decide to move on to the next POS. We all know ALPA and Teamsters aren't going to make any big changes in the airline pilot QOL, and with a recession POSSIBLY on the horizon, the only thing they are going to do now is help lessen(maybe) are the next round of concessions.
Pilots need to quit taking these $h!ty jobs. Sombody please explain.

new pilots have nothing to do with the contract in place at established carriers. it is the current employees that have set the bar so low. virgin and skybus is a different story while airtran and jetblue have done nothing but help lower the bar to it's current level.
