Dude, just get a life... and if per chance you do have one, just live it and let others live theirs. Unbelievable.

To the V/A guys... good luck in these hard times, and may you come out on top of the game.

Think before doing!
I'm new to this forum but not to commercial aviation, 20 years with AA after 7 years in F18's. From reading this blog I'm guessing most of you are in your twenties. Not one word about how working for these companies is and will destroy our profession. Yes, working for them is a paying flying job, but at what cost? If you plan to permanently fly for them, your lifetime earnings will be about half of that of that of the better legacies. Four million versus eight million for a thirty year career. If you plan on using them as a stepping stone, your action may destroy the very job you were aspiring to!
I was about to get hired two years ago and found out what the pay was, a little more than half of the industry standard. I told them to go "pack sand".
The profession is collapsing, stop jumping on top! They'll be nothing left
