You know what we should do...we should all be rampers. We could get some quality heckling in from the outside.
Haha, I would be too tempted to switch the emergency lights on before the crew showed up in the morning and took a 1hr maintenance delay. Better off being a UPS truck driver.

Maybe we can get that pilot lady friend from Expressjet with the masters degree in aerospace engineering and the YouTube channel to come with us. Fly Good aka Drive Good

UPS is averaging $55,000 a year in DFW, full medical. Don’t get a shinny jet and get to call yourself an “airline pilot,” however you don’t have to hover by your phone and receive a call at 4:02am that you have a flight the 30hrs from now at 10am.

haha, in all seriousness. Doesn’t sound like a bad idea to start a farm. This guy Curtis Stone on YouTube started a $100,000 farm in his backyard.

When you accept the paycuts, just remember this number from a NY Times article over a decade ago

“Mesa’s stock, which has suffered the same wide swings as most airline stocks through the years. Mr. Ornstein, a stockbroker for nearly a decade before joining the airline business, admitted he had a recurring stock-picking habit, and said that in a good year his market gains could outweigh his substantial airline pay. In the year ended Sept. 30, 2006, Mesa paid him about $1.6 million in cash and stock and he had a $2.8 million gain from exercising stock options.”

-NY Times



Go ahead and make less money while the fearless leader you never see in the cockpit or crew room reaps the rewards. Never seen the guy in the whole time I’ve been here. Not once even in passing.
