Like somebody said, if you need a job you need a job. But US regionals probably pay better now, assuming you're a DEC. I'd rather fly a Deuce out of Podunk Falls, mostly avoiding WOCL, than work for EK.

Guess if you're young and single (or adventerous marriage with no kids) it might be fun for a while.

Left NK as a single digit CA in base. Plan A: Legacy, Plan B: Cargo, Plan C: DEC regional, Plan D: Go back to 91k/135, Plan E: work at HD, Plan F: have the family collect on my life insurance policy. I guess F would be the likely outcome working for E3. I've been around for a while. Sandbox was OK a decade or two ago. Would not send my MIL there.

My sim partner at TSA was a DEC leaving from flying the 777 @ Emirates.

So Emirates to Trans States. Let that sink in for a few minutes.

Money is not bad, but you have to live there and work at least 20 days every month.

Hulas always was an amateur at anything he did. Although, in this example, that's a net positive for the worker...hard as it is to say nice things about the man. God rest his soul, and chain the gates to be sure.
