Not sure where you are but in my state kids can do an associate's degree (essentially all of the lower end 101 courses and stuff like calculus 1-3, etc) at the local CC for $100/credit hour, it's around $6k for the two-year. Then transfer into the State system and get a 4-year. Total cost is around $20k-$25k not including room/board total for the combined BS/BA degree.
I’m just so terrified I don’t know what to do!! Ever since I read that email I’m so angry I could punch a wall. These 105 Captains from Vegas are gonna push SO MANY junior pilots out of DFW and IAH into Florida and maybe even the Northeast. I never should have ever left the Corporate Job I had. The only reason I did was my ex wife ended up sleeping with one of the owners while I was in long term training on the Hawker. FML. I think for me, I’m gonna nuke my 401k, pay off my house, downgrade back to FO, and pull all my kids out of their club sports, and then just keep applying everywhere and anywhere. F&ck!!!!!!! I should have left when Frontier fell through the first time! F&ck this POS airline!! I hope Ted slips and falls and his guitar lands right up his a$$!!!!!!!!!!
Wind the clock. NO RASH MOVES. Get with your family and explain everything, lay it out on the table. Make a plan. Plan A, B, C, D, E and F. Think through it through logically as best you can.

Your food budget is our entire monthly spending requirement. Crazy lifestyle some people live.

I just called our realtor today, I think we are gonna list our home and just downsize our lifestyle so my kids can keep playing club sports. I’ll take the downgrade and just keep applying. Sucks to be going backwards but it is what it is.

I see what you are saying, but our reputation suffered irreversible damage once we started chasing the passengers that can afford $9 tickets.

I’ve been enjoying it. The regular retards all fell for it too. Prefect gathering spot for them to dish out life advice. One retard has openly wondered where halon was; he’s at least 3 people in this thread including this threads creator. I’m just surprise SloFlo didn’t show up. I’ve started calling hospitals and jails.
To the Spirit pilots, I hope it works out for yall. NK is an awesome place to work at. Hope the ship starts heading in the right direction

$1,000 a week covers my kids, my girlfriend, her 3 kids, and our 6 dogs. My boys are athletes and eat 3 or 4lbs a meat a week and almost a dozen eggs a day.

You can’t call people retards and get the username wrong. Also, I don’t think about you at all, but glad to know I occupy real estate in your head rent free

A colleague here under lots of stress due to financials, etc… Yet their CEO made $4 million in 2024, oh, in bonuses only.
