Yeah, I guess. But it's like an Atkins diet. Works kinda, just can't stay on it very long. Been wondering about this wheels up deal lately. Problem is, the two friends I still got both say I wouldn't last a week.

TM, if that's TMK, is back at SAI.

What's "WP"?

Western Global
 

Here is the scoop as of 2016. They are a ACMI for numerous affiliates. They hire through a company called Aero Partners in FL. Here is the good stuff. Pay is by the day. Yes I said it, by the day. They can work you up the max per month and you get nothing extra. Starting Capt pay per day is $340 and FO is $226 per day. 150% pay starts after the 20th day. So first year flying a heavy MD-11 or 747-400 as a Captain is $65,280 and FO $43,292 The rates are the same on the MD-11 or 747-400. Max Captain pay is year 15 at $117,000. Crews are home based non CASS....What do you all think?

All correct aside from the CASS comment. Crews are in CASS unless things have changed since I was there 6 months ago.

Sandrich is right on... I go the same documents..Fedex FO second year is $133,000 on the MD-11??

Second year hourly is $163 in that seat. Min pay for reserves would be about 950 hours per year but would most likely be over 1000 unless the guy sat home every month (unlikely now). +$8 per hour on international trips (or every trip out of ANC)

I have a good friend who is a sim instructor and LCA with Western and he is satisfied with the company. He did not mention the pay but has no problems. Western's contract with FedEx has been extended through May.

$65,280 for a 747 captain?! Hahahaha.
I make twice that as a second year FO, with 24 days of vacation!

I don't imagine you always had that. Be grateful since there aren't any guarantees it won't change for the worse. Maybe they won't get any takers and have to raise it. Sadly, usually there's always someone out there furloughed, fired or with enough skeletons that they're willing to take what's available.
