Thanks.
Thanks.
Especially disregard WHACKMASTER. He HAS helped destroy mainline wages (his AirTran wages were used as justification to cut Delta wages by 30%). But since it was him, apparently it is okay...

I'd work at Starbucks before flying a widebody for 100k. Not worth it.

Yes they were, during the lost decade when pilot wages were close to their lowest in history. And I was talking about captains making 100k.
Now those same AA 777 pilots are making min 250k for first officers and at least 300k for captains.
These are arguably some of the best times to be a commercial pilot. Going to captain a 787 for 100k is insane. My FOs flying an e190 on first year pay will make close to that.

Agreed. Maybe they should have gone to college or not gotten that DUI.
10 days off a month to fly across the Atlantic all night for 100k? I don't care how much anyone "loves" flying, it's just not worth it.

Norwegian is calling and it seems to work out for now especially if guys are using this as a stepping stone to get EASA and then move to Virgin Atlantic after 3 years. We are moving to the EU and this seems like a logical plan.

Worth reading the whole thread. I'd also read up on NEDude's past posts, plus everyone else here offering an opinion (including me). Most of us have an agenda (including me).
It's a tough transition moving to the EU from the US, no bones about it. Make sure you are not closing any doors by taking the first offer given. And look at Norwegian's debt/income ratio closely.
