Wingtips, EGL will not give you an ATP. You will have to earn it. Just ask a lot of the recent upgrades, its not a gimme.

Most people can't live on 40k a year because that's what all goes through their head. CANT.

It's easily feasible. It's all about how you handle your money and budgeting.

And I can bet Rick has a little more than that on his shoulders than just what hes said and STILL living comfortably on his Eagle 2nd year pay.

I care, and reason being, if Rick can do it, anybody can. Nobody's situation is going to be the same, but I can tell ya pretty darn similar.

then he does not need a pay raise as first officer at the expense of captains pay.
People should never mention if they can survive on there current pay, that is a no-no.
So you mean you can survive with your pay, because I budget, how much is the dog food cost these days and does it come in three meal a day packages.

As an AE FO, I survived as the sole source of income with a wife, son, and home. We had to be frugal, but we made it.

I'd imagine a lot of it depends on where you live too, which is part of the living frugally. Cost of living can be a huge determining factor and since pay is not adjusted based on where we live - one person living comfortably on first year pay could be way off of how another person is living.

Will the recent furloughs of 50 pilots be the last for a while, or are others in the works? In December, the number project was closer to 120.

it seemed by the email the union feels like more are to come, but have no idea as usual, and will know more mid may. Has the ORD LEC held a meeting yet?? You all in ORD should be livid.

So sad to hear that more may be on the way. The back half of this year may resemble 2008 on a smaller scale. Something's going on with the economy that's not good right now. If things were improving, we wouldn't be here. That's my view and I'm sure others will disagree.
