That'd be fair (sub 4 would be better). We can bring in variations for model year as, obviously, cars have gotten faster over the years.
And, I should say, stock from the factory as well...
Sub 8 minutes on the Nürburgring track would make it even sweeter for a somewhat newer ride....

Of course it is. For rainbow dudes.

Some kind of entitlement to say "If you dont give me this for free, I wont comply."

Do professionals in other professions say "If you dont give me a suit, I wont comply?" Nope, just pilots who would rather not comply and wear dockers instead of being an adult and wearing the correct clothes.
I 100% agree with this. We look like a joke especially in winter.

Well, at least in the winter nobody will know they are even pilots....

We are underpaid and not everyone does know that.

Shortcomings: no healthcare for new hires. Duty period instead of calendar day, no red eye override, no retirement on LTD, offset of other income while on LTD making it pointless to go get a new career. 5+++ year term, no profit sharing, SCOPE, rsv unstacking.
Got your apps out brah? Sure hope so with all the bellyaching you put in here at the forum. By the way, it's true about the LTD income offset but you do get LTD until retirement if you can't get your medical back.

I know you get it til retirement. It was confusing how I wrote it. I meant the 5+++ year term on the contract not LTD

Unfortunately $38.50 could get you experience at that time because most of the legacies were still recalling furloughs. I wasn’t nearly the most experienced guy in my class and consider myself lucky to have been hired at that moment in time. Of course I put in a lot of work over a not so small amount of time to get the call for the interview so it wasn’t entirely luck. Much of my class was quite experienced with a 4year as well. Today $57 doesn’t buy that and while we still will get some quality pilots but not the majority and I think many won’t demand industry standard or better next round. All I’m sayin.

All this bickering about first year pay from current employees. I have set myself for the pay cut, and it’s a large one for me, all without receiving an interview yet. I’m prepared for it as anyone who applies should be.


Now cars! That’s a conversation I can get into.

Exactly how long before the health insurance takes effect? I will have my regional's insurance until the end of the month of resignation and am now looking at temporary monthly plans.
