Oh, I know you would get a job at Home Depot... Did that too, til they cut my hours to 8 a week. Thats $64 a week before taxes for the mathematically challenged. Couldn't afford to go to work on that. Anyone with info on Vision, I would love to hear about it. I have 24 years 121 experience, 16 as a Captain, B727, B757 and B747. I would need to look at the logbook but I am sure it reflects I was quite busy for sometime there! Good luck and God bless to you all. This economy is a killer. I am now thankful I was not blessed with children. Frats
It's so disappointing and frustrating to see so many pilots eager to take a ridiculously low-paying job. With no benefits either. It shows how much you value yourself and your worth as a pilot by seeking these jobs. Yeah you might be unemployed with bills to pay, but that argument could also be used by someone who crosses a picket line.
Hopefully more of us avoid becoming hopelessly dependent on an airline job, thereby avoiding the willingness to take any job for next-to-nothing wages.
