Giggiddy!!

If you want to keep a thread or topic "hot", why not just "bump" the thread so it stays more active. Mod is right.......a new, but identical thread is pointless and usually doesn't produce the desired result anyway and results in excessive forum clutter.

Just my .02.........

I'm an Eagle guy, my airine is offering $5,000 signing bonuses to newhires.

As I read this thread, I think to myself- we're competing to hire guys like THIS?

Could you be more specific as to which guys you think your airline is competing to hire?

Guess it's time to jump on the meme bandwagon.

Just saying that if guys like MUFAZA are what's left in the pilot pool, we're really scraping the bottom.

Word.

I think it's fantastic that the barrel is being scraped. It's the only thing that will raise pay and QOL. The airlines only pay what they can get away with and for a long time there have been lots of applicants lining up to get punched in the face in this business.

There's no reason for most young people to choose this line of work when they can get a desk job for $40,000 straight out of college. I have mentored many a young pilot, but I have chased away just as many. For the select few, this industry can be lucrative. It's like baseball, though; most of us sit in the minors waiting to get called to the majors. Some make it, some don't.
