Xj,

I'm not sure you can log that time. But, who knows. Someone was on here asking if he could list a life experience degree in place of a college degree,,,,,,

I remember vividly reading an article in Career Pilot magazine on the life of a NWA widebody captain.

It was over 15 years ago and I will never forget the photo of the guy standing in his boat house showing off his rack of custom made wooden canoes. In the background his like new Cessna 185 on EDO floats was sitting nicely in its slip.

He owned the entire pond and surrounding 200 plus acres. His house was like a log palace. The guy had just turned 50, was obviously loaded and enjoying life.

I wish I still had that article.

Yeah, the widebody Captains are still doing ok. Here's a link on the life of a MEM based narrowbody First Officer.

(after the 40% pay cut) :rolleyes:

Your post that is it's tone trivializes the job at NWA at least in this reader's view and yes among some that would cause some animosity. Especially after all that has gone on in the past few years .
Well I guess people have become accustomed to CAL's hiring practices............:rolleyes:

For Cpt.Bat: The contract is 5 years duration. 1% raise each year. 5% 401k contribution, NO OTHER PENSION.

Keep in mind that a 5 year contract is really a 7 to 8 year contract Counting 2-3 years negotiating.

Based on 3% inflation per year: NWA pilots will be between 13% and 20% WORSE OFF when the contract ends than they were when they signed it!!

Does that answer your question? What do the future raise(s) look like? Retirement $$$?

The ASA guys are going on 10+ years! Lets hope we find a way to stop that practice.
