The real Mike O 05-02-2017 06:56 AM

One JRM trip per month...and a pretty good one, say 22.5 (x2= 45) for the entire year does not equal straight industry pay at 72 hours a month.

160 x 72 = 11,520
160 x 94.5 = 15,120

**** OR ****

240 x 72 = 17,280 (207,360/yearly)

And we have morons lined up around the block to help out...look beyond the tip of your nose. I've heard Kiwi say that Spirit trips over a dollar to save a nickel. Same thing applies now--some pilots (debatable title) are literally being tripped up by a few dollars but to prevent more dollars coming to them.

It's like someone who would rather have a piece of chocolate now that $200 in a month...messed up way of thinking

I find it sad that the chockers have gotten themselves into this financial position in life where they have to go to extremes to make the money or default on their car payments or mortgage. I'm not talking about everyone, just the major offenders. We know who you are.

I think one of the points MikeO was making in his (very accurate) post, was to point out the hypocrisy in the Choker logic.

It's telling to hear of someone who criticizes the long term outlooks of others, but then applies the same false logic to themselves.

Check out the jrm report for April 16th. About half way down is the one man army guy. 2 in April and 3 for the year.

Unfortunately there are other ways to get paid the same as JRM. Seeing the junior man log is not showing how the really good chokers are making more go happen. FYI the FLL
A -Team is in full force tonight. I noticed a few of the typical SA listers going in the crew room. Thanks guys!

Man there is one on the very first page on April 16th that says they have 4 JRMs for the year. What the hell.

I saw that. I was just referring to the guy in the middle. I think he's the same guy that was spreading that one man army story by the AA pilot.
