[QUOTE=Orca]Could have fooled me with those posts.

[QUOTE=banger]I guess you are easily fooled then...

It's awesome. One of the many jewels of New England. In Vermont I would prefer the Sugarbush area. http://www.sugarbush.com/

[QUOTE=Orca]Orca, you must have been sleeping since 1978. It's called deregulation, leading to a competitive business environment. Tens of billions lost since 2000 alone. Banger's attitude has nothing to do with the slide in pilot pay. The market is the culprit. Adapt, or perish my friend. No "national guild" will change any of that. Of course, we could go back to regulation, when only rich people flew so that we can all make $250k/year.

30,

[QUOTE=Meworry?]Not all of us. The airlines would be far smaller and probably at least 75% of pilot jobs would go away permanently. Sure, the industry is deregulated and wages have fallen, but there are many more jobs now than there were, too.

You JB guys have drunk too much kool-Aid....Quit the Yapping about a "new paradigm" its not "1989 anymore" or "Its a different world" Yeah, Your right it is a different world, ever since pilots like YOU have taken crap pay to fly mainline jets!!! thanks guys!!! You guys crack me up, You're flying a jet where You should be making at least $180/hr instead your happy about making $110/hr!
So you undercut the market, Neelman is able to lower fares, Delta/AA/Every other airline can't compete so you guys pick up market share, while the legacy's have to endure pay cut after pay cut.....Neelman makes the big bucks...and ALL OF US PILOTS ENJOY A LOWER STANDARD OF LIVING!!! I guarentee you in the future you guys will ask for higher pay etc...and Neelman or whoever's in charge will dump you and start Jet RED at cut rate wages!
PS I'm making the big bucks! am very Happy and just am fed-up with whats happening to this profession!

Vito, buzzing around in the left seat of an DC8, i'd expect that you would be a little more educated than your reply implicates. The legacies were in trouble way before JetBlue took its first flight. So, which airline are you gonna blame before then?

Voti,

Who are you making big bucks flying a DC-8 for? ASTAR or ABX? In addition, how many years of service do you have with them so I make sure I get the right number on the pay scales page.
