I sit and wonder how FOs make it work in San Francisco and LA when Chip Child’s pays highly skilled FOs poverty wages for all the blood sweat and years we put into this to get to this level. Inflation has changed the ballgame. Either pay the FOs 100$ an hour, or we vote with our feet and go fly an airbus with animals on the tail with an 15% direct contribution along with a livable wage with bases in low tax states.

It's a free country, you can do that. If enough do, then CC et al will then have to decide whether they can pony up, or just shut it all down.

They have 900 mill in the bank… they can make it work. I don’t think they have a choice. With envoy opening a 175 PHX base it changes the dynamics a lot.

We probably should qualify for food stamps when the price of any consumable good is up signafigantly while things like eggs are up 70% in 2 years and chicken up 45% in the last 18 months.

Also, how am I supposed to pay my Alimony on this wage? Because with the way scheduling is working with the blocks given out, marriage issues and divorce should be in the job description.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah having 5 roommates in a 1200 sq ft shack is great. I would expect baristas to suffer considering its not a skilled labor job. I know you’re not this out of touch.

Way back in the day we had a pilot living on the beach in LA in a tent until one day a news crew was going around asking the homeless people on the beach what they did for a living. He proceeded to tell them he was an airline pilot and showed him his tent with his uniform since they didn’t believe him. Chief pilot was watching the news that night. Next day he was told to get the hell off the beach and find a crash pad. Good times.
