The sarcasm is strong with this one.

 

I don’t want to go to work on my days off...I have a family life and surf

 

Who needs a life when you get to FLY AIRPLANES and make 200 PERCENT.

Honestly though, junior mans are only an issue when we aren't staffed correctly. For many years they were quite rare. Once we are back to normal staffing levels and reserves are sitting around more, junior mans will decrease.




I think they should just start giving every new hire multiple training failures that go on PRIA so they have a hard time leaving.

 

I thought that was already going on?

 

I remember back when i was there, when we first got navtech charts and iPads, they would just be missing altitude crossing restrictions on STARS, speeds and other required information, that was the joke. “Violate em so they can’t leave!” Those things looked literally like some college kids put them together in their free time at first.

 

I have never been junior manned. Because I received a MKE line while still in systems, I am protected. If you can hold a line, as an FO, at either MKE or CAE. You are somewhat protected from JMs. I start early on day one and am usually done between 7p-1145p on day four so there’s not much they can do to me.

This is my 2nd 121 job. I was guaranteed 11 days off at my last job but usually got 12 as a lineholder. At AWAC I usually have 13-14 days off.

At my last job I usually flew and was paid for 75-80 hours. At AWAC I never, ever, ever credit(paid) less than 96 hours before picking up extra flying. Because of pay protections you make more money here.

Today, I flew .9 hours from AZO-ORD then took a deadhead .8 hours from ORD-MKE but was paid for three hours.

On Sunday and Monday, I flew for 4.6 hours and was paid for 21 because I picked up extra flying that was in critical time. It’s easy to do. You will make ALOT of money here for being a “regional” airline pilot.

As a Capt. you will get JMed more and make $140 while bent over. It’s just a rite of passage.

 

If you can live in base you will be happy. Being able to drive to work makes my wife and kids happy. In base...... in base.

 

You can use the diagram because there are too many variables that that throw that off

With AWAC pay protections you will make money here. If you can drive to work, it’s a great job. I do not drink kool-aid. I am not management. ALL regionals suck. This one just has less suction.

 

You can’t use.....

 

Thanks for the comments...what are chances of new FO getting CAE?
