Thank you for posting that.

The average salary in this country is $46,000/yr. The average first year pay, factoring in training on a base salary with no per diem or overtime, is $38,000. It’s going to suck year one but hopefully you’ve planned ahead and accordingly. If you paid your own way through flight school either through the military or a crappy, hard working job- you've got the muscle. If you did this on your own, the first year won’t be hard; you understand how to budget and save/spend on what matters. It will be a breeze for you folks. Second year and everything after that is the big reward.

Agree with everything except first year pay is now around $47k. It was $44k when I was a new hire not so long ago. It’ll break $50k in the next couple years.

I hope everyone paid and is paying attention to our new CEO and was said today concerning the future past the pandemic. She is not looking to grown the company, rather concentrate on higher profitable customers including those in the medical field. What that means for the airline is yet to be seen, but I’m not really optimistic of much growth going forward. Investors didn’t seem to like it today either. Stock was dow 6% at one point.

No need to grow when the biggest customer starts pulling volume. Hopefully, they can find ways to replace it with other stuff. I haven’t been optimistic since 1994. Save your money

Spot on! One day she’ll make us miss Scott Davis.

What’s the specific of those turn lines, when does a day/night turn start and finish?

I do not know for MIA/ONT domicile
ANC. domicile does not have turn lines AFAIK

SDF turn lines: 0230-0400 local show returning at or before 1200 local. ( often called morning turns )
1500-1600 local show returning around. 2345-0200 local. ( often called afternoon turns )

Um.....they did just put in an order for 19 new 767s that start coming on in 2023.....next year....

Made that comment a while back. We will see what happens to the MD over the next few years
