Unless you are on the street and ABX is your only option, do not go to ABX.

And here is the gouge: don't smell like cat **** and speak at least some English, you're hired.

Airline interviews are all the same. If you've seen one, you've seen 'em all. The only variations are those like FedEx and Southwest that do a CRM exercise also.

No way ...closer to $44k first year when you add in the pay for being required to work on your days off!

Lets not forget the amazing schedules you'll get to experience. How do you feel about working a 13 hours, then having to go to an outstation, over night for 12, fly the next day for 15, then rest for 11 when you get back to fly back to base all while on the back side of the clock. The schedules are hellish and getting worse by the day. If you have any sense you'll stay out of this business and go to a passenger carrier with 117.

(I have no way of knowing how many might have left between 5/9/16 and 1/31/17, but it likely wasn't many, if any at all, since, relatively speaking, the general outlook was more optimistic at that point.) There are an additional 19 newer 151s who remain out of a very-difficult-to-quantify original number since some were hired and never showed, and others left within a few days to a few months.

Almost all of them I talk to have shotgunned their resumes out. They’ll take the first reasonably stable job they can find. I’ve heard Spirit mentioned several times.

Yeah these backside of the clock trips get old and make you old real fast. Spirit, Jet Blue, hiring in droves have better pay, rigs, day flying, much better retirement! I'm out too as soon as they call. Few going 91 coprorate in September.
