Default Skybus "A" List

For all of you high level thinkers that are either currently working at SkumBus or thinking its a good idea. Lets just step up and announce yourselves to the everyone. Give us a heads up so when we see you coming we'll know who lowered the bar even further.

Just attach your full name to the list along with the city you'd most likely want to non rev, probably not in the heart of OHIO is it? I am sure that the pilot who is finishing eating his Big MAC that he borrowed the money to purchase will be more than happy to find you a seat in the back on his 23 minute turn. Heck he might even come back and rub your sore feet after such a hard day of working your 3 jobs that are now a necessity to pay the bills.

Good On YA!

If he has to borrow money to buy a big Mac, how is his airline job different from SkyBus?

Still grounded- I think that interview picture of yourself is great. Although aren't you getting pretty old to be flying, you look about 70 :-), maybe you are the one who should lay off the Big Macs.

Once other airlines catch on to the fact that some opportunist will fly mainline aircraft for turbo prop rates all we will be able to afford is big macs. Salads and water already cost too much.

If you don't recognize my avitar go rent the Airport movies and enjoy.

I could be dating myself but I thought George was quite good in the 67 class The Dirty Dozen. Yes I was kidding.

How much does a E170 pilot make these days?

PS... Heard Skybus 1 talking to Indy the other day.

STILL GROUNDED,

didn't you work for Mesa before you got on with Republic. I think that hardly puts you in a position to call someone else out for taking a job with sh!tty pay and seemingly poor QOL! Don't mean to call you out, but let's keep everything in perspective here man!

If you are on the RW side, we ARE flying an aircraft that was once on the mainline certificate for what I would consider a turboprop rate.

Even a pilot at the highest paying regional is still grossly underpaid.
