Ahh, there is that maturity that goes along with someone needing to make $110k at a legacy first year to qualify for a loan.

Still remember the days where people didnt leverage themselves to the max. Maybe ask Mom and Dad to co-sign for you. You can offer to wash their car or do some chores around the house to pay it off.

Nah, I’m fine where I’m at. Don’t even need to deal with the airlines. I’m just asking a simple question and you give me a popcorn bag for an answer. I washed your moms car fwiw.

Thank you
Take out a HELOC and float a few dozen thousand in year one if necessary. To not move to a legacy because "I can't afford first year" is the dumbest decision of all time. Find a way, and do it.

Exactly - make it happen.
First year pay will be around 90-95k while you’re on probation. After that 130-150 second year and goes way up from there .
Simple

If you work extra you'll clear 100k first year at delta. One of my friends there is doing it now. I'm at a different legacy and if you wanna work, you can make that number. You'll be working a ton and having to play the system. As soon as year 2 pay hits though you'll easily be seeing 16k+ months with the same work schedule to make up the difference. Someone mentioned a loan on here in a previous comment. If it's for a loan, can't you just get approved for the loan now?

Seems very short sighted to only be focused on first year pay. UPS/FedEx don’t pay that first year, but they make up for it on year 2.

It’s possible at SW. Might have to pick up some second year incentive flying but it’s in the realm if that’s what you must do.

This is the way. The interest you pay goes into your 401k, too.
