uhhhh that's gonna be a NEGATORY ghost rider! I have been reserve since being awarded SLC in July and I have been looking seriously for other work since then. I have 4 years drywall experience 2 years electrical apprentice and 14 years as a cabinet maker and finish carpenter, I am friends with or related to several people in each field and everyone is laying people off. There are very few jobs to be had anywhere right now so while I agree that regional FO is a crap job, especially if you are locked into a plane that pays less and now people that are junior to you will make way more simply because they are on the jet! That is a real kick in the nads but I have insurance and I spend alot of time with my kids. So here is my heart felt Thank You to all of you who are making 75K instead of 80K this year so that I can keep my 18K! Here's hoping it gets better for all of us soon! If only I could get paid to kayak!
