30k to start and full vesting after only four years. Wow.

 

Sounds kinda like a corprate job... I like how they really beaf up the Ass Kissing part! Just go out and buy yourself a computer before you get there!
That is a nice touch too. Can also buy your health care right from day one!

Good luck boys and girls!

 

Doesn't sound like a good corporate job...

 

Well you could probably purchase a laptop (and some cologne) from the FA on the trip to CMH, so that's a plus.

 

I can't believe they've even got one single pilot.

 

they could offer less and still get pilots

 

Heard the Skybus call sign contacting departure out of MCO on the radio last week while I was transitioning. I think I laughed for 5 minutes... Felt really sorry for the crew though... With all the advertising they do inside and outside of the AC, it has to feel like a metro bus. To me that is the most degrading thing to us as pilots, not to even mention the low pay/bennies...

 

Just had a Zima and came up with the crazy thought. But wouldn't it be crazy if in like 7 year Skybus is like what SWA is today?

 

**I DON'T WORK FOR SKYBUS** get that out of the way first. But when you look at some of the stock options you cant help but think of southwest way way back in the day when no one would even blink at them. I personally know a captain there now, who, with all of his stock in the company has more money than he can even spend in a month.
