And the WSJ seems to at least base rankings on universal metrics like on time, mishandled bags, etc. Whereas TPG factors in lounges, children’s entertainment, and on board goodies; not really a consistent metric given that ULCC don’t have and won’t have lounges

These lists are by no means the "best airlines to work for as a pilot".

Sounds like we need a new thread…best airlines to work for as a pilot. With a poll too.

Already have that, it's the salary survey thread. And it's as nuanced, confusing, biased, omissive, what have you as ANY list of the "best airlines ranked" etc.

This 100%. I think the most granular you can get is broad categories, but that's stuff everyone already knows.

I remember being told by a Delta pilot that I was stupid for not commuting because of all the money in greenslips I was giving up. But really, it was amazing for me because the group, at a whole, is so greedy that I've spent many many nights at home on reserve while they are white slipping to the gills short notice broken up trips

Hey it works for both of us! I'll frequently drop a crappy 3-4 day with 0450 reports and wait for the easy 2 day WS. I never criticize anyone for commuting, not commuting, flying GS or not flying GS. There's a whole lot of us and we all have different definitions of what is important to us.

True 'dat. Just like how passengers rank airlines. Which was the point of me putting up a different airline ranking; it appears some missed that not everyone has the same values when they choose an airline to fly on.
