You make me feel even better about leaving after only 6 months. I knew that place wasn't for me. The pilots were awesome to fly with but management has no clue what the hell is going on.

Quote: The question was asked "why the mass exodus" a while back. QOL, morale, money, better outlook elsewhere, you name it. I know 3 guys with nearly 4 years exp. who went to Pinnacle to get Capt. awards. I know they have slowed this now, but thats a lot of seniority to lose for a lateral move (even if it is for an upgrade). Still, I concidered it too.

I didn't start looking until they cancelled my upgrade (along with nearly 80 others). Then I decided I was done here. After a 13% paycut and nearly 20% reduction in flying over the summer, as well as losing 2-3 days off per month with the crappy lines they are putting out, I just couldn't see staying around any more. You would think with nearly 5 years here and bidding in the top 10% in the seat you could get a good schedule, but you would be wrong. On top of that, my last few pay checks have not broken $1000. And I am not the only one that has happened to.

It appears management is trying to take a page from Mesa's management book. They are telling senior people they aren't wanted any more while having trouble filling new hire classes if they stick to their published minimums. One rumor has them looking at private multi quals. You can get your commercial when you take your checkride in the sim at the end of training.

Quote: we recently lose a scheduler who was a problem for everyone
Did he get promoted to a spot recently left by a guy who now flies for Delta? Or am I thinking of another guy with the same first name (not sure if there was two)? He was one of the better schedulers but had a severe attitude problem.

Hey, I think Boston could be a possibility in the future because of our growing presence in the northeast, however, I don't think it will emerge as a base any time soon, if ever. Everything is purely speculation at this point when it comes to future basing if any basing expansion happens at all.

I know lots of guys (and gals) that believe BOS will open sometime by the start of summer 08. I've heard (rumor...) that the company thought it would be insulting to the GSO/MCO crews to open BOS right after closing down the other two bases. But, when has the company ever thought about insulting us before?

already there have been several instances where 100 hr have been obtained, and some are quickly on track to 1000 hr sometimes it pays to ben in the right spot at the right time.

Jim Murray, awesome guy and I wish him luck at Delta. Anyway, I'll be kind of sad not to hear your perspective from scheduling but I wish you good luck on your interview. I sat with those ramp tower guys for a couple hours as an intern. Some hard working people that can be underappreaciated if you have no idea the multitasking that they have to do. Good luck on your career and keep posting.

I have almost got the time but im waiting to pay down my debt first. I want to go into my first year f.o. pay without a car payment an a good amount of finances in the bank to live off of for a few months. Since it will be a very deep pay cut for me, to swallow.

looking at about 8-9 mo to get the finances in order slow processe but hey we all got to start somewhere.
