I really hope this is a joke. However, in case it is not, don't apply here. Go apply anywhere else. The company is at war with the pilots, and they are causing generational damage to the morale of the crew force. Southwest is opening up their hiring window. Other majors will soon. Apply to everyone, except here. Read this board if I can't convince you, but applying here would be the mistake of your career. Seriously, don't waste your time.

As far as pay scales, look at American, Delta, and United, and subtract 40%. Then subtract another 20% for 4a2FU. Meanwhile, the company is using the money it saves from screwing us to buy back literally billions of dollars in stock.

I've been here a long time, too long to leave or I would have left already. This place has always been cheap, but they are searching for new depths of cheapness. Save yourself, go work somewhere else.
