Not everyone on reserve is at the bottom of the pay scale.
Recently I have flown with the #1 and #2 captains, in the same week, on JA's out of my base. The phone calls are making it to the top of the list in all seats and more than once from other bases. Does the name "Kiwi" ring a bell?

Maybe is because they live in Port Soint Lucie or Fort Peirce and like drive to FLL. When i grow up in Miami my cousin drive from Hialeah to Vero Beach just to get interview with 135 ops y now he bigwig in Homestead. You never know, my friend.

Is say the only FLL captains that would possibly leave already have numbers at American and would go back with a few thousand new hires below them. They also have another two years to decide. Most of the other FLL captains probably couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

The retirement numbers alone at the legacies make me question why anyone younger than 40 would stay at NK and leave so much $$$$ on the table. I believe we will be lucky to see VX or Jetblue rates in this next contract. Anyone can do the math. Okay. Keep telling yourself it's all about the "quality of life".
Anyway, you plan on leaving?, (you can PM if ya want)
Found this, "keep telling yourself it's about the QOL,"
I have to admit that getting hired by Spirit has been a God send to me! Spirit is what it is and I'm living in the FLL base, I drive to work, I get the days off I want and just like I stated in my interview, "There's nothing sexier than an airline making money and expanding with new airplanes". Could it be better? Of course! Could I be in a worse place? Hell Yes! Just like I tell people who want to fly on Spirit to those that want to work here: "It's not for everyone". I take it all on face value and appreciate what's here now without worrying too much about the future. Especially since I'm much closer to the end than the beginning!

So today I write a poem for pilots, that works in FLL y MIA for Espirit:
Tell me truth, tell me lie,
Are you scared in the sky?
Is it for this test pilot dies?
Is it you, is it me?
Do you like your PS3?
Is that a tear I see falling out you eye?
If it wasn't for Fidel,
My mommy y daddy would never yell,
Little Havana reminds me of a place called Kalispell.
What has we done?
Gordon what has we done?
What has we done to CAL/NWA/USAiR?........

Oh no. I'm not going any where Joey! I'm too old and this is my last rodeo. I've done my time at the legacies (16 years). Just looking to guide some more senior to me to truly experience all this great profession has to offer. So yes, for me it's probably the only life left in this profession. Don't get me wrong, I am still grateful to be at NK. I just hope not too many pilots here are living in "mambi pami" land thinking this contract will bring a windfall of goodies to the NK pilot group without giving up other goodies.
