How do you figure?

 

But bigger HAS to pay more... right?

 

Sigh...not at my company it doesn't.

 

It shouldn't anywhere... but that is a totally different discussion.

But since it has been brought up... If DAL and UAL were both gonna hire you and you are 30 years old.... and retirements at both companies were roughly the same in terms of percentages... which one would you go with and why?


I rest my case.

 

I'm not sure that I follow. I'd go to Delta in a heartbeat. That said, the makeup of the two fleets isn't a factor in my decision. I'd choose Delta even if I knew I'd be flying the 717 for the rest of my career.

Hopefully I'll get a shot at proving this to you one day. That is, if you're cool with having a Longhorn onboard.

 

For all of you who are looking for "greener grass" here is an opportunity.

"My Son, Bob Reed is looking for any Bombardier Global BD 700 or BD 7000 pilots who have a total of 300 PIC hours. To be based in Shenyang, China about 357 km North of Shanghai near the beach, for a two years minimum contract. The parent company is based in Macao. The pay is $15,300/ month with a one year $8000 bonus for an average of $16,000/mo. Presently they are flying a 6 week reserve schedule (they don’t fly every day) than a 3 week vacation. There is no other restrictions other than they have to be under 53 years old and can pass the Chinese (Chinglish) ATP exam and a good physical. This is an American Exam that was translated into Chinese and then retranslated back into English, so some of the questions are a bit hard to follow. They will have an English speaking Chinese Co-pilot to get them around the system.

Are you typed in one of these ? Want some world travel experience ? Looking for great pay with tons of time off? If so contact Bob Reed at: [email protected]"

 

Interesting info on the Chinese gig. Who is Bob Reed? Who is the contractor? Big questions there.

WASINC is typing guys in Gulfstreams so long as they have PIC in an aircraft that is operating commercially in China right now. Much better deal in my opinion.

On another note, where are those 321 and widebody announcements? Rick Astley sure didn't have any info.

 

Completely off topic, but "The Place Beyond the Pines" is shockingly good if anyone's looking for a movie to see.

 

Maybe,

But the article did say in order to fly more LAX from JFK they would have cut elsewhere. Sounds like a wash as far as block-time goes.

Scoop

 

It's next to impossible to get out for movie night so I doubt I'll get to see that movie, but Bradley Cooper is turning out to be really good at this acting thing.
