You've only been at Eagle for 12 months? You're about to get a serious smack down by AMR via bankruptcy. You'll be lucky to have a job in another 12 months

I will happily go somewhere else, sounds like maybe RAH for almost the same pay!!!

Everyone on your mighty horses just remember someone is always out to take what you have.

I'm really sorry, buddy. People picking up OT while we are furloughing ****es me off more than anything else in this industry. My long time girlfriend was one of our 20 that were furlough out of the schoolhouse (she is now at XJT).

I recently overheard one of our finest captains complaining about the recent lack of OT (a lot of it is blocked). He owed his recent ex-wife some $$ and needed the OT to help rectify this situation..so in order to fix his crappy situation, he was advocating immediate furloughs. :mad:

We truly are our own worst enemies. I hope the LOAs help avoid this mess for as long as possible.

That should be the motto of "The High Five Society".

GF

Ok, I see what iceraide was originally saying, I think your response was just a little more detailed...hopefully economic movement and pilots moving on will prevent furloughs.

that is a NEGATIVE!
my sister made 2500/wk as an intern. Her first year she made north of 150k. Oh yea not to mention she has been off since NOV on a paid leave.

If you keep jumping around from regional to regional you'll never make a decent living. You'll forever be on probationary pay chasing that elusive upgrade.

It might seem easy to do now but after a couple of years you'll be burned out wishing you hadn't done this career.

Have a back up plan, I do.

Courtesy our friends at the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

Median salaries of all lawyers 9 months after graduation from law school in 2007: $68,500

Avg. starting salary in private practice:$108,000

Yea I have heard the same grumbling from people that are all heated because open time is blocked yet April's bid lines at LGA include lines that have 20 days off!!!

I doubt the LOA's will be very helpful, but we find out tomorrow how many have been granted...keeping my fingers crossed. I'm glad your gf was picked up by XJT, I haven't heard back from anyone yet...

...the choices we make huh?

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I did read multiple articles saying that attorney jobs are very, very scarce right now. In fact, law students have taken to suing their alma mater due to false advertising about the job prospects their chosen schools lead them to believe existed.

I would like someone to post nursing/two year medical stats---the Return On Investment I think is just nuts...the money and opportunities a two year or four year medical degree? Wow. Some posters have said, "Block, don't be negative" when I offer people to at least think about going the medical route....:confused: It seems like a solid career, I don't understand why I am taken as being negative. Do you think nurses shudder at what the oil prices will do?!! Don't think so!!! :cool:
