Nice numbers guys, and thanks for taking the time to figure them. Well im a 14 year captain flying about 92hrs on average out of EWR I don't commute and I bid well let's say in the top twenty. Pretty nice schedule and about half the year off and bring home just a little over 105000. However, with us just being bought by ASA and no joint contract in hand and CAL/UAL merger still going on it an understatement to say that im not just a little concerned. I don't think I would ever be displaced from EWR because they can't get anyone to stay here...living in Jersey is expensive to say the least and being middle aged with two young kids its not a money thing its a responsibility thing. Just exploring some options.

Not a left seat hog if that was the case I would have left for CAL five years ago when I could have flowed over, just was the wrong time to much going on I life...well I would have been sent to the street anyway...would have been recalled by now but still non the less...no job!
