Excuse me! You think it's tragic a capt makes more than a NB airline capt. How many times have you been over there? How long! have you been over there? My guess NADA! Probably never wore a military uniform either. Was over in the "sandbox" many times during 90- 95, so I can speak from experience. Just what does a nb capt do? T/O and land. What responsibliity does a nb capt have compared to an O-3? Not many. Does he have to worry about a sam coming up his a$$? I think not! the nb capt is gone from home maybe 14 -15 days a month. Try 6 - 12 months!

There's too much to go on and on. So, the bottom line, anyone over in the box should be paid double what they're makeing now.

 

You seem to think I was insinuating officers are paid too much.
Quite the contrary; I was saying airline pilots are paid too little. You also missed my very simple point - what financial incentive does a military pilot have to make a leap to airline flying when they can make more (sometimes MUCH more) money by staying in and taking the occasional deployment? One guy in my ANG unit was a young single 1Lt who had taken three voluntary deployments because he "can't afford to go back to my old job because I make too much money."

For whatever its worth, I did wear the uniform in ROTC and the ANG but was never deployed. I had a training line for UPT but got washed out of Brooks due to ocular hypertension. I have friends from ROTC in college who have been deployed, shot at, wounded and a couple guys I went to high school with deployed to Iraq and came back in caskets.

Stand down my friend - I'm for ya, not against ya...

 

I am going in on the 23rd for mine. How about you?

For those of you wanting to know times, mine are as follows don't know where I stand as I haven't heard one person letting on that they interviewed or what times ppl have that are getting calls. I will gladly update everyone after I get back though.

Any word on recency of experience requirements at Compass.

 

Is the Compass CBA being negotiated by NWA Alpa or is Compass covered under the current NWA CBA?

Will their be 1 seniority list or 2?

If it is 2 different lists, will you be able to take longevity DOH, vacation ect... in a possible flow-up?

Just a few questions I have as well.

 

It will be an extension of the NWA contract until the next time the contract is up for negotiations. At that time an elected ALPA MEC composed of compass pilots will take over.
