This isn't good.. I don't think I can make it on $24/hr for more than 6 mo to a year MAX..
Hmm...
We have 230 pilot so far and around 130 CA so far. We are short on CA keep getting e-mails requesting to pick up flying. So at the end of 08 we should have 200 CA and around 180 FO's. We have had a couple of CA leave so there is small attrition. If hired around 250's seniority number you can probably get a pretty descent QOL as an FO.
Also we have about 10 CA that use to fly the CRJ and they are about to hit 30 months with in 12 months so If NWA is hiring they would get a chance to flow up and empty so space here as well as the 3 NWA guys that are here until the next class date at NWA.
If you get hired now you could probably expect upgrade around June-Aug 09. That is if we get 36 airplanes and some people leave which I am sure will happen.
