Rigs? What does that mean?

Hey Vegas,

You plan on moving to SFO? I think jumpseating is going to be a little tricky.

Well first of all, the most junior Captain at United is making 128/hr right now plus a 15% retirement fund contribution each month, that is 147/hr in real cash. 95/hr is a joke. Not even Ind Air paid that ****ty. Secondly, 127/hr in 6 years? Do you suppose US Airways and United pay will go up on their next contract? You will be crowing about 127/hr in 6 years and UAL and US Airways will be at 150+. Doesn't sound too good to me, but some guys will work for food.

I totally agree, except Virgin America pilots will be looking for jobs in three years.

Tell you what, vegasd0uche. You're choosing to work for a non-Union company that is undercutting my Union contract. By definition, you're choosing to be a cancer on the industry.

Don't ask for a jumpseat.

Boy i cant wait for a phone call... i sent my resume in, i have 1000 TT 50 ME..cant wait to fly the A320..Ill do i for free if they wanted me too.. :rolleyes:

Hey Greenface,

found a new victim you can try to intimidate with your empty 'refuse the jumpseat' threat?
I would not want to sit in the same cockpit with you if it was the last flight out of Saigon (or Baghdad soon - if you lefties take over the country).
What defunct airline do you work for anyway - so I will never even attempt to fly with you.
Tell me about the time you actually did not take someone on your jumpseat, I don't think you even have the power to do so. Gateagent will overule you anyway you silly union air transportation worker.

Not a record, but the S word will be broke out within one page!

Anyone wanna throw some money on it?

Oh wait, we're all BROKE!

Actually, I've had the pleasure of rejecting B6 jerks a couple times. All you have to do is tell the gate agent when you arrive, "No jumpseats for jetBlue or Virgin America." That's all there is to it.

Oh boy.:rolleyes:


I think VA might have something original to offer in terms of product and the backing of Branson certainly doesn't hurt. The Virgin name is huge around the world. The down side is that management looks shady and I'm not sure about their operation centered in SFO, one of the worst airports when it comes to on time dep and arrivals. Vegasboy the pay seems a little low but certainly not out of the norm, can you shed some light on work rules?
