Asa Job
So ASA called today for an interview. Deciding to put into action what the rest of this forum has already suggested, I turned the interview down since I didnt want to work for them in a shiny CRJ for 19 and hour. I think we are all worth more than that. Good move? I am hoping that more people do this to help stop the newest NASCAR race "The race to the bottom 500" from gaining popularity. Anyone else wanna chime in?

ASA is my dream airline veacue I am a native Atlantan and really do not want to move. AT first I didnt want to be an airline pilot because of the low pay, but its only for a year. I cansuck that up. Heck, if I can do a year long tour in Iraq I can deal with one year of low pay. I understand what some people think though. Trust me, I am 37 years old had plenty of professional jobs in the past so I am not stary eyed

I feel the same way. I am targeting all of the airlines that are based out of ATL and other SE US cities. Being born & raised in the SE part of the US, I would prefer to be based out of either ATL, MCO, MIA or any other city in the SE US. I know the latter two choices are a crap shoot and are virtually impossible, however, ATL is not a bad base. If things work out, I figure on living in Clayton County Georgia, Olive Branch MS, or Greensboro, NC.

Yeah, anyone going to ASA has pretty big b*lls in my opinion. It's a crap shoot as to what Uncle Jerry wants to do with that part of the SkyWest, Inc. plan.
As far as first year pay goes, the only place with GOOD first year pay is Horizon. A few others start from $22 - $24. Hope you don't expect more than that. Plus, the second year and first year combined are higher than most regionals, so I don't know if you can afford to take a pay cut or not.
