Hey you left for a job that also only has two types too lol
I'm quoting this for when the 330 orders are announced. Not that I'll ever fly it.

And if that happens, as you so emphatically made your case, we will need less pilots on property to staff the fleet. Tell me, how does that translate into career progression?

Dude,

You really need to think about how the example I made if needing less pilots for 16 fleet types relates to having 12... or 9. The example does not correlate to the conscious decision for the company to operate more aircraft that current numbers once the jets are mostly replaced and fleet modernization gives way to "what's next".

The crew staffing formulas will remain the same and any less crew required as I mentioned previously are one time reductions created by fewer training floats from multiple jets. Some negligible advantages come from higher AC utilization stemming from fewer mechanicals ala newer jets.

Relax. It's coming.

Not saying that's not a smart move on the company's part, it is. But it doesn't change the fact that there's no growth for a long time coming.


Current delivery schedules have NJA on track to take 100 frames this year alone.

Half a decade? Ummm...

I can't seem to nail down the real bottom line pay for the years: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Yes the pay is posted for each schedule, but with all the little caveats and carve outs (overtime, late home, per diem, etc). I know year one sucks, no matter the company year one always sucks, but years after it usually improves quickly. I could take some steps back as long as the steps start catching up at some point. Also I saw something about only 5 upgrades this year, is that a joke? What are they really? Without the rumor mill (mandatory retirement etc, not going to happen unless the old guys start dropping planes on a regular bases or there is some high profile incident) I don't particularly care about being in charge, I have more then enough TT (6000) PIC (3700) Turbine PIC (2400), 5 types, at this point it's about QOL and money. I would love a fast upgrade, who wouldn't, but I also want the money, yes the money would be there if the upgrade came but if the upgrade is not fast how much can the bottom line look like at the the above years? Sorry for the wordiness, thanks again
Yes it's true. Hey maybe those "Negative Nancys" you mentioned earlier were actually right? Or you can believe balloons and ponies being barfed out by Flylow. Your choice. My recommendation, however, would be to get really familiar with the SIC side of the pay rates.

No, it's not. There are currently no plans for growth, period.

Be miserable then.

When you are in this business long enough, you'll learn to read into what is not said by what is said.

That's much different than reading into what is said to infer what is not said.

I know I lost you so I'll let you get back to your Pit of Despair.
