new hire here. I just sat 2 days rsv and start a 4 day today. I have another 2 weeks to wait for medical. The fact I’m flying the line without medical coverage from the company is a little barbaric to me. Training pay sucked don’t get me wrong, but I feel that’s a right of passage for us since we all went through it. First year pay around $75-$80 and hr would be much nicer. I just bought a house while in training too. If it weren’t for a year of no debt and vacation payout from my last airline I’d be struggling right now out of the gate. But it not something anyone couldn’t plan to endure for 3 months imo.

This is a pretty funny post, not going to lie.

Training pay is BS. First year is BS. No insurance is BS. I can agree with that for sure. Did you happen to check the Obamacare exchange for healthcare? This is actually a good resource for those with low income and no company provided insurance.

Who knows the full story...

Could be dual income...real estate inventory is just coming out of an all time low with little end in sight. Depending on the area he might be buying into the lowest rung before it gets yanked higher out of reach for a long time.

Just my opinion not backed up by anything other than what I see in my area.

But a ballsy move nonetheless!

Little end in sight in what regards? Honest question.

Little end in sight in terms of low inventory. Anyone’s guess what will happen...my guess is it will stay low due to high building costs. Combined with the market for luxury rentals and the air bnb market I can’t imagine it will jump back up any time soon. But that’s a total guess from a non expert.
