Man Oh Man
 

I really would love to go as I live in FLL but yes, that pay is tough. Add in medical expenses, holy hell it costs a fortune today, My ID travel, on other carriers, it too is expensive, and it adds up. The FLL base is tough too as the parking lot is in Fort Myers, the bus is atrocious and those 4/5/6am shows are tough. The summer in a Saab is brutal. Sad cause it seems like it would be a nice job. Yes, I think the ATR will change that, if you can get the ATR.

I have been thinking about Silver, staying in FL as opposed to commuting to ORD, as an example has is appeal to some. I know of course those will say "Hey is this what you love doing?.. Then deal with it..." but at the same time, while the pay maybe lower than other carriers, it might not be a bad place to start. Hopefully with the fleet upgrade things will improve, although I think the Saab is going to stick around for awhile.

ALL is a big word but I've been with 3M for 15 months and never had a non Silver or FAA employee in the jumpseat. We generally become weight limited before we fill all 34 seats.

Are new hires still being trained on the 340?

According to the Recruiting Dept on 3/19/19, yes, all new hires still go to the 340.

That should change very soon one would think. The delivery schedule should be pretty quick since the certification took so long.

Any word on new pay rates?

Aborted takeoff @ MCO
 

Anyone knows if flight 61 actually ended in a grass median after the aborted takeoff at MCO yesterday? Guess those 340s are nearing the end of their useful life huh :(

What does that have to do with their useful life?
