I get a pretty descent line and ok trips as a captain. I make descent money not great but ok not close at all to break 100k like someone suggested. The reason this place sucks so bad is exactly what they are telling you. Reserve blows,if they tell you,you will get a 170 new hire chances are they will try to switch you into the Q maybe the 145 if you are lucky. Upper management all have split tongues. Have you heard of displacement bids? Well get used to it base closures are as frequent as your herpes flaring up! Oh and I shouldn't have to mention the contract situation I hope or the FO pay.

And before I hear all you dumb asses ask why I work here it's because I can't get out. I applied to everyone from CAL back in 2008 to UAL, us air, and for whatever reason I have not gotten any chances yet. But when that time comes you better believe I will bust down the door to get out.

If this is your only opportunity take the job you need to feed yourself and live but If other options are available I would seriously consider those before coming here and working.

One more disclaimer! I just posted from my phone while in bed just after my wife shut me down so all of the grammar nazis no need to post on what horrible spelling and punctuation I have. I simply don't give a ****.

And it's gets very tiring listening to them howl.

I was based in ind for a year and a half, best crews , awesome people. I am not a fan of anywhere midwest, i like coasts ..but people that i worked with they are the reason i can tollerate this management..

The people that you talked about have gone through one if not two hiring cycles by majors. Not everyone gets the lucky break. Then you have the people that have life commitments that cannot take the paycut.

Be respectful of the people you work with. Learn from senior people. Life and this career is not what they tell you at atp/purdue/etc.
