That is actually a very viable career path.
Scope concessions, joint ventures and code-sharing will eventually eliminate all but a few Delta pilots.
Guys are going to have to follow the airplanes offshore.

Does Emirates make you wear a hat?

Ha, yes, and even better, they make you wear your uniform to recurrent. No I am not kidding. :eek:

Hey look, I don't mind flying for some Camel humping, tee-totaling, rug merchant out of some over hyped kitty litter box (and I promise not to say that over the PA) ... on second thought, anyone have the phone number of that sensitivity training course?

White Russians in the early afternoon again Bar? :rolleyes:

I can't wait for them to saturate themselves right out of the market.

Not likely. Their pilots get paid what we do, but with no taxes. Their Capt's make about 11K a month plus free housing in the Kingdom and free healthcare. Most my friends that work their average about nine days off a month, they see every weird place on earth, and have an upgrade of about five years. Did I mention that most are trying to leave versus sign another five year contract.

Afternoon?

You know, once a guy runs out of Cream, Half and Half, and Milk there is not much left in here except for Vodka.

Damn you PBS bid Computer, you have bested me again...

At my seniority, I know I'm flying over the Holidays so I preemptively asked for a nice high time 4 Day that finished up on Christmas day and would just allow me to commute home and open my presents at night...and maybe enjoy a drink in front of the fire. And bless you PBS computer, you unstacked that very same trip on me.....but you weren't done by a long shot. No, you searched high and low to find that perfect low time 2 day trip to back up against the 4 day so I wouldn't have a 30 in 7 and thus allowing me to spend Christmas night in the Kew Garden's crash pad. Ah, six straight days of duty over the holidays and nothing puts you in a festive mood like eating takeout Chinese food in a highly Jewish Queens neighborhood and then sleeping in a bunk bed with 3 or 4 guys snoring nearby.

Oh, PBS bid computer, I bow down to your superior intelligence...well played sir, well played.
