Back on topic. My friend is an ER doctor clearing 400 a year. Working like crazy, has to live in Waco, not jealous but making $$$. I’m leaning on the NOT making doctor money here.

It did for me. Both my wife and I worked casual additional jobs and made more money for the same timeframe than I got on first year pay. First year I dropped almost everything green because It was far far better both financially and personally to not work at first year pay rate.

Opportunity cost of my most limited resource, my time.

Different story at second year and it will be completely different if the TA passes, but 2010 contract first year pay rates were not enough to get me off the couch (speaking figuratively). We made more money consignment selling random stuff around the house.

So what’s the ratio of people saying in different bases? Everyone is arguing, I’m just wondering what people are actually saying on line? From the people you talk to are they yes or no’s?

The irony of guys getting so upset we make less than Legacy carriers, and then embracing the suck by dropping an already low hourly X guarantee, by even more.

But like I said, to each their own.

All ends in a week
