May be true a year or two ago but that is history. I'm talking about the present. Bet you're kicking yourself in the a$$, aren't you?!? Nobody willingly works for less, way less in this case, if given the choice. I don't care how much pot you can legally smoke on your days off.

 

I see you are still upset you never got called ...

Hiring window will open soon if you want to reapply!

Btw, you must not be good at math, as "you and one other dude" does not equal "several" that I quoted.

And, 2loud, nope, I do NOT kick myself for not applying anywhere else. We can make it better, definitely, but this is a great place to be. If you really hate it here that much, do you have your apps in at other places? Seriously ...

 

I was called earlier in the week to be placed on the alternate list for Feb. 8th. So background checks and pre-employment tests are in progress. Next class will "be announced soon."

 

I have to say, I like your attitude. Seriously. Give it a few more years, reality may settle in and you might actually see the true colors of this place. Make this place better? Only if you can cure cancer-Puzzle Palace Greed Cancer (PPGC) and Judas Pilot Cancer (JPC). Thought you might like the acronyms being a former mil type. Guys like you have a different view; an active duty retirement comes in handy especially working for a ultra low cost legacy carrier. How's it make you feel that your buds are making more on their 2nd year pay elsewhere than what guys here make on year 6?I know I know, you can't chase the $$$ but at some point, you have wake up and smell the green! With UAL's 2 year contract extension, this gap is about to get even bigger. Do I have my apps in? That's for me to know and you to find out. Enjoy deicing for less!

 

I don't mean to interject, but I can't help but notice you're insinuating that North Dakota strippers are, by default location, below average. On the contrary, exotic dancing is a very lucrative pastime for young women in those oil towns.

 

F15Cricket: Been hearing "soon" since like July of last year. Do you happen to know any better details than that? Inquiring minds would love to know! Any info would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure by a number of people on here.

 

I hate to tell you this, but money isn't everything. Guys like Cricket put a higher priority in life on family and QOL. There are some things money can't buy...time at home raising your kids instead of being a "Face Time" Dad.

I believe Cricket when he says AS was his first and only choice.

 

I often shake my head at your posts, but I have to acknowledge your research here. Yes, I did apply to AS. No, they never called. I would be lying, though, if I said I would've stayed there had they hired me first and then Delta called. Pick any one of a number of favorite Delta stereotypes easily found on this site, but the fact is despite any perceived negatives one might face at Delta, we have more variety of domiciles, aircraft types and flying both int'l and domestic.

At the end of the day, I have to wonder why they didn't call. At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself if you really want to fly a 737 for the next 25+ years. I hope the answer is yes, and I hope it's an honest one.

I think we are both happy where we are, and that's what's important.


P. S. Delta's better.

Only if you absolutely want/have to live in the PNW. That's about the only thing.....pilot domicile. What other QOL are you talking about? We fly a ton of all nighters, one of the lowest paid, 401k is mediocre, junior pairings are inefficient, trip trading is non existent, weakest pilot group in the industry, PBS on the way, but what could go wrong?

 

Thanks for the update
