I'm excited. You can see the writing on the wall. CA pay will be $225 per hour in the late summer. I'll be blocking off entire weeks to get a cut of the cake.

Then you upgrade to $90 hr, have a better contract, and a Delta interview.

Filling classes was last years problem, this years problem will be keeping pilots in the jets. GoJet has already seen what happens when they let themselves fall behind in pay, it cost them 300% all summer long. It will be interesting to see if they make the same mistake twice. Smart money says they will fail to react again.

If you're waiting to leave , to collect your 1000 PIC , what would be the point of then going to 9E?

$20 an hour, easier commute, better commuter policy, Ability to commute in during your reserve window, Delta interview.

If I had gotten a January class date I would have went, but they are backed up until April now.

If G7 wants to throw another $20 an hour at me, then the other reasons probably won’t justify the loss of seniority, until then it does.

At that point I ask why even bother? April to October will cost you a few hundred numbers on the list, pushing you further to the bottom of captain lines and way down the line for Delta.
