There are times when I miss my corporate gig and my company card. Thatd be one of them.

-Keep the dirty side down

 

Dera doesn't have much to say after being called a shill working in the cpo

 

Hopefully it stays that way

 

Mind you the guys at Mesa usually credit more than 100 hours, this is according to a few guys I’ve talked to over there. They say it’s unusual to credit below that. Lines in dfw for us in the 145 wont really go above 72 hrs

 

All of those in the "Lower than Envoy" make up for it with 100+ hours of credit each month, much lower reserve times, and other rigs and incentives. Envoy is only good if you live in base and don't really want to fly or make money.

 

Couldn't be more accurate

 

Well unfortunately we all dont live with momma.

 

The last four or five fos I had all live with momma. They are airline pilots lol. Welcome to envoy

 

But my I wanted to fly the E175 Dreamliner at any cost. Being a cadet was my best opportunity, so I sold my soul to Riddle, UND, and the likes. Now I owe $130,000-$160,000 in student & conventional loan debt with 6-10% interst rate. $700 per month in interest payments alone.

But at least I was #1 in class as a cadet for 1year. I timed it perfectly and I will forfeited the extra $5,000 bonus for the E-145, because the E175 Dreamliner is more braggadocios. I made the best decision available at the time so I could get off reserve, and “get a line faster”, or at least “live in base... where the E175 is.” Ok that last sentence is not true. I have to say something to feel better about my dumb decision, it’s a defense mechanism answer. So I don’t sound like an idiot. Now my financial life is crumbling, but at-least I live in base & will flow in 7-9 years. I’m 23 so I can live with mama as long as I want. I’m single also, so I do get to save money there, lube is cheap, and can’t afford a decent girlfriend anyways. But at-least I fly the E175 Dreamliner at a lower pay tiered regional compared to the rest of the industry where I could have made more money to pay down my enormous debt.

But oh well, my ego is satisfied. That’s what matters most right????????
