Hired July 21st, start August 6th. Can't wait to get the next level of my career started.

 

I saw a few guys in dark suits with red ties standing outside the security door in DCA on Saturday, when I came back to encourage (torment) them they all had disappeared.

Congrats and good luck in training...we're all counting on you.

 

I always discourage educated people who are vying for 17,000 a year jobs where you have no home life nor stable finanical footing. I was flying BE-1900s for that pay in "1987".

 

I was wondering where Ellen has been.

 

Gee, I guess I should tell all the guys I know on second year pay netting around $40,000 that they can't keep $23,000 of it. I agree with you to a certain extent, but I can't say that you paint the most accurate picture. It's pretty sad that the pay is so low, but it's also pretty sad that a lot of people are miserable in their cubicles making twice as much.

I see pros and cons to every industry. Outsourcing, layoffs, cost-cutting, and bottom feeding are certainly not exclusive of the airline industry. Yes, it's more cyclical and tumultuous than most fields, but regret is an intangible cost on one's personal goals. This is something I've always wanted to do and now I can say I've done it. I encourage anyone who has realistic expectations of this career to at least experience it.

Lastly, experience as a pilot will never hurt you when interviewing for positions outside of aviation.

Congratulations, whoareyou, welcome.

 

You job is what you make of it and thats how the cookie crumbles. Welcome 310!

 

Brad? Dennis? is that either one of you guys?

 

Hey there Mr. Happy, where's your bucket of sunshine to put little gumdrop smiles on all the kids faces?

 

How was the interview? Share your hours? No sim ride?

Congrats!

 

98% HR, 602/67, no sim..relatively straight forward
