It was the only move to make along with the air national guard after instructing and some corporate flying. I have understood full well since I was young that this industry has no guarantees. I'm not here to live a LEGACY CAPTAIN fantasy life.. I'm here to do what I love and enjoy my life.

Going sloooooowwwww..........

Then you're in good shape. As long as you realize that this profession has a strong probability of not being all that financially rewarding for the overwhlming majority in the future, you'll stay grounded.

But I'm ready and I don't have dreamland expectations. I'm not here to be a millionaire. Just making a living.
You're also in the minority. This profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic dreamers like those who have become upset they aren't EMB-170 captains by 25, 757 F/O's by 30 and 777 captains by 40 with a house a Spruce Creek with a baron and 2 wave runners in the hanger and a condo in the Turks. That's for airline management, not future airline pilots. Most need to realize what you apparently have and accept this job will simply be another way to "make a living" about on par with the average Lowes store manager.

BTW, you've brought a huge smile to any airline executive lurking these boards as they are absolutely counting on that level of expectation. It makes their job so much easier and gives them more time at the Turks villa and more money to feed the baron. Now, if we can only get another 12,000 pilots currently kicking garbage cans around their regional crew rooms to embrace this philosophy, I can once again make big bucks on airline stocks.

Classic.

BTW, in another thread I compliment many of those at regionals as having a better handle on indusrty knowledge then most of the senior captains I fly with at mainline, but that doesn't serve your purposes, does it ?

Time to scurry along the baseboards and back into your hole.

So lets see, news to come.....Final TA language for us and a vote date with road shows.....maybe hiring....and I saw a new article saying the UCC wants to offer the Eagle labor unions an equity state if they pass their TA.



Creditors committee: We’re not going to wait forever for a pilots’ deal

The Unsecured Creditors Committee filed a statement Friday supporting the collective bargaining agreements approved by the Transport Workers Union and the Association of Professional Flight Attendants. Those go before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane for his blessing on Wednesday.

But in doing so, the committee warned that its support of giving AMR stock to the Allied Pilots Association is contingent on a deal happening sooner rather than later. It put the equity awards support at American Eagle for members of the Air Line Pilots Association, Association of Flight Attendants and TWU in the same category.

The UCC said it “has has agreed to support the equity stake negotiated” by those unions “in order to support prompt, consensual agreements.”


*“However, the Committee’s support will continue only to the extent that ratified consensual agreements are reached promptly,” it said in its filing.

“The Committee will not support equity stakes or claims for any labor organization that does not ratify a CBA nor will the Committee support any further economic value going to labor organizations beyond the last, best and final offers made by the applicable Debtor,” meaning American Airlines or American Eagle.
