I now remember why I don't post here - obviously you're another member of the participation trophy, PC police, we're-all-winners generation. Lighten up. What you really are is a buzzkill. |

After I get through driving on this parkway, I'm going to park in my driveway and have some jumbo shrimp for lunch. Carl |

That sounds about right. Some of these will be part timers (60k) but median and full time would be about 125 - 160 or so. Younger docs starting out without patient base would likely get less unless they are in an underserved area in which they get recruitment bonuses and higher pay.
He tells me he regrets the decision to leave. Last year I made 50% more than him while working far fewer hours. He has seen his pay per hour decline 35% since 2000 (doc in the box and contract hospital work), plus all his malpractice insurance costs shifted from his employers to him (big numbers). He's working around 61 hours per week (25 flight physicals and 3 12 hour shifts) to make in the low $200's gross. Out of that he's got to pay insurance, office rental, and all his equipment expenses. This is just one anecdote, but it's from a guy that's been on both sides of the fence. In 2005 I'd have probably liked his view better. Right now I like mine. |

Imagine a pilot that could always grease landings. And he never hit turbulence and always flew at optimal fuel economy speeds and his announcements over the PA were perfect. He'd get whatever he wants in terms of salary, right? See, it sounds just as silly. Even if this magical doctor were perfect as you say how would he verify / advertise his incredible success rates? Are you saying people would private pay him so he could "set his wages?" Again, I'm not perceiving a slight, but your post are somewhat fantasy / comically exaggerated. :rolleyes: Wages and salaries are set by general market forces, supply and demand, minimum employers can get somewhat competent people, adding in some influence of collective bargaining and regulation. Unfortunately highly trained individuals like you and me can be exploited in short term, as if your salary were cut by all carriers, what would you do? You'd probably just ride it out - it is difficult and expensive to change careers. IF you're going to do that, I think we pilots need more credit for our high success rate. I didn't elect to use physicians as a comparison, and I don't have that much interest in the idiosyncracies of the profession, but physicians and attorneys were being discussed at the time. I don't think there are any doctors with a near-perfect batting average (how could there be?) but if there were, I suppose they could write their own ticket. You're correct about one thing: this is a theoretical debate, as insurers often set the market. I think the problem we're having is that you want to have a debate about something other than what I'm actually writing about. I apologize for not fitting your template perfectly. |
Changing schedule
I can never get this right. When does the swap board open verses pcs. Basically what r the dates to improve my schedule?
Thanks |
The swapboard is active as soon as schedules are published
PCS runs for next month start at 0700 on the 20th. |

We have Delta pilots who will break 500k this year. That does not make it the norm. You have to compare averages. We're about the same as Doctors and well above lawyers and Dentists.
And yes, there are a lot of "we want _____" from this contract. That's what you get when you've got 12,000+ members who are each asked what's important to them. That doesn't mean it should be turned against the group as if it's a greedy mob of malcontents. |
