Acutally wingtips, please apply to RAh. I will email you when you turn 41, and ask you. A) are you still an f/o at RAH?
B) Are you making 92k at Rah?
C) how many times have you been furloughed?
I'm sure a rah guy can chime in with the correct answers to those questions.

GSO is missing from the list too as the most junior base for '07 hires. IND is way off in that list too. It is one of the most junior bases at RW (YX).
Oh, and this late '07 hire can hold a line, no problem, in PIT. You must be almost an '08 hire to miss a line in PIT

I'm a 9/07 hire and that order seems a bit off. Obviously relative seniority can be drastically different month to month (in terms of hire date and base seniority), but as a 9/07 hire, I almost missed '07 and so that order looks wrong to me.

Best place to be on a base seniority list is probably CLE for expressjet, far from RAH. lol

Thanks for the information. You're missing the main point. A law graduate after 9 months is making 68K.....the median pay, meaning the middle...is 92K for pilots. How long do you think it takes the average pilot to even make it to 92k? The average airline pilot age is 41.2 according to Air Transport Association.
Then again average starting salary in a private pratice is 108k.
So tell me how you think being a pilot is a better option

I don't know where to start with this.
You're not even comparing 'apples to apples', so to speak. Or even 'apples to oranges' for that matter. At least those are both fruits. You, Wingtips, seem to be comparing 'apples to pipe wrenches' in this case.
You are comparing two vastly different skill sets, job functions, and educations. I don't know about your airline, but when I go to work, I don't read case studies and then write a summary about the upcoming leg. While we're talking about lawyers, did you know that in California one can become a lawyer without ever attending law school? It's true. Are you going to paint all lawyers (or at least all CA lawyers) into a lower class since some among them didn't submit to the same lofty educational standards as others?
I know plenty of pilots with law degrees, MBA's, and any other professional certification under the sun. I also know pilots who didn't complete high school. Can't necessarily tell the difference in the flight deck.
-On the other hand, I think you proved your own point rather well.

Seriously, how many have you ACTUALLY flown with? One? None? Be honest.

You know "plenty" of pilots with law degrees, mba's etc? Not calling you a liar, but I find that REALLY hard to believe. Could it be that you exaggerated to make your point? I've been in the 121 world since the mid nineties for two airlines and have NEVER flown with either.

There aren't a lot of graduate degrees in aviation but they're out there. I've flown with with a several. They are invariably good to fly with because their life's experiences extend beyond having been a CFI and their formal education didn't end at the age of 19 or 20.
