Personally, I'd get educated a little on how much hate there is for this carrier and anyone flying for them. I'd avoid it like a hooker from sub-Sahara Africa.

Yeah, I'm picking up on that.

I'm actually glad you posted this here. Perhaps you can pass along what you learn to other folks coming out of the military who haven't been following the commercial airline world. Life as an NAI pilot is going to be bleak. Not only will the job blow, but (like it or not) you will be branded in the industry. Short term "gain" for a lot of long term pain. Plenty of other jobs out there to hunt for. Best of luck, but think LONG and hard before you sign up for NAI

Once again, NAI pilots are NOT SCABS. Not even close. The term has a specific meaning and should not be diluted.

What part of "considered on par with" did you not understand? Many (including myself) would look at them with the same disdain as scabs.

Even you ignore the scab and tarnish talk reread this post. Anyone remotely competive in US Market should not be shackling themselves to a 3 year training bond and the other bs.

You can make more at a regional now and have no training bond. Every regional will hire you tomorrow except for the one regional not hiring.

The same thing has been said over and over throughout the years..., the UAL and CAL actual scabs..., not considered scabs but actual people who crossed picket lines are today full members of ALPA and they ride your jumpseats regularly..., the same thing was said about the FedEx pilots back in the day...., Gojets and many others!

The simple truth is there is always a lot of tough talk but then the laser pointer is directed towards the new "enemy" and the tough talk is forgotten

So, from the job posting shown above, how can anyone hold their head up and say they are willing to work for a company that pays Captains 102,000 and First Officers 56,400 AND flies a 737 across the Atlantic for those rates?!?!?!?!
