I also solemnly swear to do my research next time and not simply copy/paste pay scales as an end all to pilot quality of life.
To summarize: habitual Kool-Aid use can lead to early Alzheimer's, please beware folks. Ah I did it again...

Danny the Douche
Ok, I bit my tongue and refrained from posting anything because of the enormous impact this bankruptcy will have on everyone in the organization...but then I read an ADN article (linked below) where 'Danny the Douche' said this:
[PenAir chief executive Danny Seybert said the bankruptcy proceedings had been in the works for a while and it was something he was "quite excited about."]
"quite excited about"? W.T.F. over?
My advice is to seek employment elsewhere and give PenAir the same respect they gave their employees in Portland and Denver...a three-day notice.

I was grateful that every day I walked into the building, the doors actually opened and that my paycheck was deposited on-time every month; however, I thought about it on most days and fear that day is coming sometime in the near future (this is only my opinion). In addition, management on the first floor has a good track record of either promising or "hinting" at benefits (ANC based, upgrade time, 4on/3off schedule) which they never intend to make good on. If you still think you want to give PenAir a try, ask for a written contract to back up the "sales pitch". I won't even go into the monthly fight for credit pay. I fought the good fight as long as I could, and then took the advice of a senior captain - I let PenAir take a little bit of money out of my back pocket every month. It was either that or risk a stroke/heart attack from the outrage. ~Just keeping' it real~ Sincerely, Deadpool
