And it's only temporary until you turn 65. Then it's for keeps.

Bump

Isn't the guy in the OP story one of the union guys who's been living the high life on union money? Calamari and high end dinners, with lots of liquid encouragement.

Yup and he hasn't even touched an airplane since 3/27/2011

He's based on the CRJ in DFW which hasn't been a CRJ base for a while and he's getting 95 hours of CRJ CA pay per month.

While never actually qualifying as CA at all I might add.

saw over on Eagle lounge, he has been having nice expensive breakfast's with his wife on the union dime. Also been boozing away on the union dime, I guess thats why he has all those alcohol related posts on here if you look at his post history.

Schedules did not evolve into this overnight. If you can't properly manage your rest time on a consistent basis then maybe this ain't the job for you.

I would rather have a productive four day trip than an 18 hour layover in some ****hole Midwest city. Just wait for the schedules when the new rest rules kick in. Fewer days off and lower credit.

It's not hard to find another job making $38,000. Good luck ever breaking $75,000 outside of the airline industry if you can only work 9 to 5 Mon-Fri while constantly complaining about long work days and short nights.

Maybe that's the hard part, making money while complaining about working. LoL. I'm pretty sure the goal of most individuals is to make the most money, while working the least number of hours possible.

Outside of the flying biz, it took me 4 years to move from my $55k/yr starting salary to a $70k/yr salary. I recently got a promotion, so i'm finally in the $80k/yr range, but as stated, that took me 4 years and included a competitive promotion.
