If you want a dinner date tomorrow night call an escort, I have plans with my actual family on our next layover. So hopefully on your $100k a year salary you can find some food that fits your budget.
And just so we are working with the same numbers, due to the NH pay scheme, most new hires are getting way, way less than $100k in their first year.

For me, it's always what's left after the first class picked it over, and the rest of the FAs rejected it.
IDK. Always thought beans and tight quarters with strangers was a bad idea.

Also—I was a new hire under our old contract and made $91k my first year. These guys can easily do $100k.

His mentality was that as a new guy his fam would look out for him.

Gate agents don’t know ****, and they don’t tell the pax ****. The pax just sit in limbo up there. To the few keyboard warriors that responded negatively, I would counter that you should find some humanity. A couple of succinct data points can at least let people start the 7 stages of grief for the 3 hour delay they are about to endure. I don’t care about the company, it’s about empathy and being the one dude in that moment that can provide clarity and make other humans feel just a touch better

Wouldn't you have to credit over 100 hours a month to break 100k in your first year assuming you finished OE by the end of month 3? I didn't break 100 hours until years later and it certainly wasn't consistent.
Yes, I am aware anyone can get a GS right now but it's not always possible to fly on the days they want you to fly premium.

Anyways, the O2 mask fixes all bean related issues.
