There are many things all of you “adults” can do to help out others that got into this industry at less fortunate times. Propellere? If you’re so negative and hate our ceo our mec and your fellow pilots just leave. If 8 hours is the deciding factor to go deliver boxes then go. I guarantee you probably got into this career cause you heard flight attendants are hot. And since they haven’t looked twice at you, you figured you’d get more love and attention from that amazon cardboard box grazing your fingers. Get outta here. You’re immature and a stain in the Mesa workplace.
$300 can be a game changer for those making less. Just thing about the FOs who only take home $2k per month. A decent apartment in just about every city is over $1k per month, tack on utilities and insurance and someone is at at least $1250 per month, throw in a car payment and insurance and they are now at $1600, assume all food is purchased and packed(no Uber eats) and that’s at least another $250-300. So now we are at $1900. Assume they put their entire bonus towards student loans they will will still have at least $100 per month. Now they have no room for a $300 cut. Depending on state with the current $200 extra one will qualify for between 4-600 per week on unemployment, they will make just as much on unemployment without having to pay for crash pads while sitting on reserve.
