If this clown smells like he sounds, I can't fathom what fresh hell being sticky with him in a guppy closet must be like.

Crazy. As a legacy captain, I average about $40,000 per month working 14 days at the most. Some months don’t work at all.

Nobody cares…

- ”I’m a pilot”
- “Ok…so did you want pickles on that or not?”

I think we're coming full circle back to the days of "you get to have a flying job" as the main benefit.

Anyone born after about 1990 has likely experienced this before.

I had an FO have "Mother" for pay for his 73 type after a lecture from me about "pay for training is an absolute no". He's retired now after 30 plus years SWA. My advice is, don't take my advice.

Maybe it makes sense for people from Europe or Australia? I hear Ryan Air pay sucks. I still say a Spirit pilot would be better off at any regional while waiting for a furlough recall or a Big 3 class date.

Even counting the 'free' housing the pay rates are quite low for a wide-body captain especially considering the onerous 'rostering.'

If the economy goes down the drain then the math might change but right now there are plenty of jobs in the US that are better than this. I'm glad we have some actual numbers to talk about.
