If only 10% of the 17K pilots on the list subscript, that approx $3500 a month.

10% is probably way low....25% would generate $8.5K a month......33% would generate little over $11K per month.

I just can't imagine that a website that is basically displaying Excel Sheets and some graphs/ pie charts is costing anywhere close to 5 digits per month, so I assume Curly is making just a bit more than beer money.
Hosting for the type of site he has is in the $20/month range.

What ALPA site?

Just take the category list, find where you sit in a category and divide it by the number in the category. Why do you need someone else to do that for you?

And if he’s on a shared server (virtual)…our information is not secure even with user/password login.

I think they are referring to on your DALPA page, it will show you your approximate seniority each year based on retirements only.

The things some of you get wrapped around the axel about continues to amaze me.

Happy subscriber to Curly's service

$12 ish. With how fast (slow) it is, I'd guess maybe actually in the $6 range.

I don't know what host he uses, so it could be more, but $6ish is certainly possible.

No one is paying for widget seniority to figure out their current BES %. What an obtuse comment.

What does it do that the ALPA app and a little clicking around on delta net can't do? I'm trying to understand what people are paying for.

I have used it primarily for AE based info. It's a quick and easy way to visualize and compare where I'll be on BES after each AE and mock. I suppose I COULD go in and do the math myself but for the cost of a small brewed gas station coffee a month, he does it for me. It's literally a rounding error in money for me.

Log in and within a 10 seconds you can see your relative seniority in every base and every seat. In the same page you could see your seniority this month/next month/6 monts from now. You can track trends and look at historical data and do some cool pay comparison stuff.


It is amazing to me this thread is still going. As mentioned before. Lots of player hate…
