Great, the only way for advancement these days I guess, turn us each each other. Anyone looking to enter this job (notice I didn't call it a profession) these days needs to go and get there head examined.

Doubtful, there will be a cargo cut-out for those as well ... :D

And drug/alcohol testing, compliance with ATC instructions or pretty much anything beyond making it up the stairs and releasing the parking brake. :D

Not unless you work a lot of days off.

Of course you could do that at many places if you work enough overtime.:eek:

I agree with FrontSeat. Not got close to 200K.

Weird, I know delta captains, junior narrow body guys. I made more than they did this year and last. 8year FO, 2 late arrivals and regular line holder. I'm clueless. Tougher to pick up OT at the legacies due to the high block hours they fly, unless you get a few green slips during the summer or do rolling thunder on reserve. Our benefits are where you notice a distinct difference in out of pocket. I was paying close to 500 a month when I left, sure things haven't gotten cheaper in the insurance world. YMMV

Only those two hazards? Many more I can think of.

According to APC, the most junior captain is on the MD88. He/She makes 194/hr. at an average of 75 hours pay it is 174,600.

You are on 8 year UPS pay and at guarantee only that is: approx 975 hours times 165 = 160,875.

Voting NO on the next contract unless the hazards (lithium) and the FQS go away.....

Good luck getting rid of lithiums. Apple is 60% of anchorage volume. Not sure about total volume.

For sure,. I would like to see a ban on those nasty lithium metal batteries though.
