Your breakfast at the Embassy Suites. Your airline miles. Your health care at NetJets. Included. Not free. And sometimes, kinda crappy...
Happy place now, new jet new $$$, everyone want to work on their 7 day tour, very different since December from what I can see. I'll talk my 110K for 5 months of work and 100,000 airline and hotel points!

That’s 100K points and airlines miles combined on 4 different hotel programs and 3 different airlines. Best I have ever done is 110K Hilton points in one year but that was using one of those promotions events, was good for almost 2 nights in DC Hilton at 60K a night. So that was a savings of 500 bucks for a year of staying in Hilton. Not too bad but not good either. Give me a larger pay raise of 1 percent, I’ll take that and you can keep the points.

Mind blown... I didn’t think of that until you said it. The level of trolling is right in line with that weirdo.

BINGO

110k Hilton points is maybe 3 nights at an HGI in Bakersfield. It pains me to see people brag about hotel/airline points and “free” healthcare when they have zero clue at the actual dollar value of those things.

1) It’s $118 an hour, not $128.

2) What fantasy land are you living in with $3500 a MONTH extra in FDP? I haven’t made $3500 TOTAL since inception of the program. That’s four and a half months ago.

Happy place? Man, you must live in a weed-legal state and you’re getting a contact high from the stoners in the coffee shop.

I’m beginning to loathe going to work a little more each tour since they signed this turd.

And this dude does seem to be channeling a certain bar owner.

Why would you go to EWR when you can hold SFO? You’ll be off reserve in 4 months holding a line, making close to 100k your first year play 15% DC, basically working the same you work now. Only at UAL on year 3 you’ll make 200k, and year 10 at NJ you might crack 130. Mmmmmmmmmmmmk

Because I live here in Virginia and my wife makes 3 times what I do with her job, and I enjoy my country club, private schools and community and friends, SFO is **** for traffic to get to by the way! Working 5 months a year is the gravy, playing golf 3-4 times a week and enjoying no commute issues is only reason I work! Air Force Retirement is about to kick in as well DCA is probably second worst only to Dulles at rush hour on the toll road, EWR was easy off 13A for the F lot! Its all what you want but I found United to be a **** hole operation with dirty planes, dirty crew rooms and old FA's, flew with a 84 year old once!
