[quote=POPA;71387]Surely somebody who is qualified to fly a plane can find a management position with WallyWorld.
Or, go work for a different company. I threw Walmart out as a suggestion, but there are thousands of other companies out there who would jump at the chance to hire somebody who has the mental acuity to fly a .78M metal tube.
There are few, if any, regionals that pay their first year FOs enough to provide for a family without another source of income. Using family as an excuse to jump to GJ is bull****, and you know it.[/quote

Not Bull**** and this is why.....dont know of any jobs that will pay me
sixty thousand a year after only two years except a regional airline job.

Also, don't know any job that will allow my precious wife and daughter to travel for free, to visit my parents.

If WallyWorld, or any other corporate job for that matter is so great, than why aren't you there. Im not complaining about being a GoJet. You are the one with the problem with it. It is the best job out there to provide for my family.

Anyway, not for you to decide.

Good luck and fly safe.

 

[QUOTE=magnum_man;71604]Good luck getting out of there, or you will be making 85K a year for the rest of your life.

 

85 thousand a year.....eighteen days off a month......travel benifits all over the world for my family.....Yeah....that really sucks. I compare my job with all the other careers out there and this is far and above the best, even at a paltry 85,ooo a year.

Go ahead, be a lawyer, or a doctor, or all the other careers that prevent you from having a life of your own, buy you won't. All you will do is say how everyone else is to blame for your unhappiness.

 

Roger that. I'll cancel the hitman.

 

You are right, 85k is great. More is better, but if you are happy then that is all that matters.

 

Thanks for the first rational response ive seen in a long time....was expecting more scab bashing.

 

Good luck making that at BLOWJETS you SCAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

There is really no point to that. While I don't agree with how the company was created, I can't judge the employees there without knowing their situations.

 

Top pay is 86 an hour...850000....no prob...only about 80 hours a month

 

you guys are sad, to say the least.

when are you people going to realize that bashing each other, whether it be on the ramp, the radio or a message board is what get's screwed over
in the first place?

scabs.... get a f#$%ing life! there are no scabs. this is a concept invented by a bunch of idiots that were ****ed off at something and had no other way to deal with it, than creating some imaginary group to alienate the people they didn't agree with.

and the fact that some still use that shows the level of ignorance in our industry. most don't even understand the meaning but they use it, because "everybody else does".

well ain't that great.

whether you work for a regional, fractional, major or 135m there is one thing you need to realize: WE ARE ALONE! ALL WE HAVE IS EACH OTHER!

if we start bashing each other then we can might as well give up.

whenever you morons decide to accept this fact you will realize that the reason we overworked and underpaid in this country compared to the rest of the world is beacuse we are all self centered and self serving. we don't think as a group but as individuals.

there are people that would give anything to be in our shoes.

the fact that they go get a job with an airline that torqued you a little bit makes them scabs???? maybe you should stop for a minute and think back to when you were an aspiring "airline pilot".
which testicle would you have given for a right seat job then.....

just a thought.
