Meet the Chief
Is there anyone in here that has been invited to the upcoming meet the chief events that would like to link up? Also for anyone that has done them in the past, could you please post or PM your stories and experiences with it?

I was fortunate enough to get an invite and will be going. I don't know if I will be able to meet up since I'm flying in that morning and then have a flight home that afternoon. I'm pretty excited to go, but I am worried about the possible effects of the Delta variant (and other new variants as well) on the company and hiring. I'm at a super stable job right now and it makes me nervous to leave that and possibly get furloughed while in class or something. If it wasn't for that, I would go to Spirit in a heatbeat.

Don’t mean it CAN’T happen, but I don’t know any management or senior pilot group with a better record. I’ll grant you that first year pay does sort of suck though.
Yeah, the first year pay will suck, but I did the math and after 5 years of earnings at min guarantee, even at the FO rate, I will have made considerably more money with NK than at my current job.
