.
Thanks for any help in advance, Ill finish up those test within two days my head hurts I'm a pilot not an English professor
Is this on the B-737s?
Do you still have to get the Euro tickets within 1 year, studying on your days off?
You locked in on the flufs, or can you bid over to the 787s with a US base in the future?
You'd probably be better off with JetBlue or Spirit, the EU tickets are a b!tch to get.

I have 7000 hours time majority of it in turbo props I have over 1000 hours in jets. I'm just trying to find a descent company I fit in and make an OK living. I've tried United, JetBlue, Spirit, and a list of others. Not tooting my own horn but I am descent pilot and everyone I've known or flown with enjoys flying with me so I guess I'm ok to fly with. I just asked someone about Xtra airways and the captain there contacted me so I'm throwing my hat in that rink too. I hate to look overseas but if my own home people don't want me, I have to do what I have to do.

So you only are a "descent" pilot? The other pilot flies the "ascent"?!

Any of you US pilots "thinking" of going there (NAI), be careful. There is already talk of loss of JS for life...and being blackballed from US carriers for life. Don't make this bed for yourself.

BTW, you will not be welcomed on my JS. Better live in PVD.

Yeah, I heard the same thing from the 7-11 cashier. Don't worry. I'll wager many wouldn't want to ride your jumpseat let alone be in the same hemisphere where you're flying.

Better make that two of us. Not that they'll be able to jumpseat as it's a foreign carrier, but even if they could it sure as hell wouldn't be on my aircraft.

Like the man wrote previously......careful about the bed you make to lie in. Given present day circumstances you WILL be looked at as the equivelent of a scab.

All this tought talk was going around for gojets back in the day......, once the lazer is focused somewhere else and all you cats follow it...., all this tough talk will be forgotten.....!

As a matter of fact i remenber some of this same style tough talk about SWA back in the day......., lots of tough talk about the scabs at CAL......, The simple truth is that you are all ver easily manipulated......, and we all have the attention span of a goldfish.......!

Don't forget Freedom Air!

Virgin America pilots also got the threat of jumpseat bans and blacklists as well.

The EASA license is not that hard to get. The expense is the worst part and it appears Norwegian is helping on that front.

GoJets, Virgin, Freedom Air, etc...all had one thing in common: they were NOT Flag of Convenience threats to our careers. Non-union, yes...they eventually unionized... but there is still a huge difference between that and what NAI is. Two completely different animals.

Either way, they're not scabs. Scab is a term that shouldn't be devalued.

COPA....., that's a flag of convenience that they placed right under everyone's nose with mainline investment and nonunion pilots working for 60% of what NAI pilots make.......
Aeromexico, GOL......, etc. flying 787 competing on the us market with mainline investment and captains making a lot less than a regional captain.

Open your eyes people...., stop being cats chasing the laser pointer....!
