Guys don't come here!! Do yourself a big favor and find another place to work!!

 

Personally, I don't think so. However, I got on at an OK time, where the sub-3 year upgrade still existed. My QOL as a senior FO is pretty good right now. (bypassed a transcon upgrade.)

I may never get a lay-flat deadhead or an ice cream sundae, but a pilot job is a pilot job. I'm holding out for eventual pay parity.

Yeah, the infrastructure leaves a lot to be desired. You're on your own when it comes time to take care of anything HR related, etc, because they hire low tier everybody. Nothing will be easy and no one will return your calls when you have a personnel, HR, payroll, etc issue. You just have to keep blowing up the phone lines and then call the union. I doubt it's that bad at Delta, etc, but I don't know.

I really hate to say it, but yeah, if you can make 1st year work, "it's better than your regional." That being said, there are very few Non-Regional airline jobs I'd recommend NK over at this time. Perhaps Allegiant and Frontier, but other than that, go someplace else if you can. If not, come here. You'll have a type to make you competitive and if all else fails, a decent, but not amazing career.

 

Hey....! Come to Frontier!

 

Best advice anyone can give you. Best part it is free. Hi Five!

 

So did they finally take care of the new hires during the hurricane

 

It is my understanding that everyone was evacuated from FLL including the entire headquarters. The pilot new hire class was left in FLL. ALPA should have been on top of this before it got this far.

Good news is it looks like the worst of it will miss FLL and MIA.

 

Strange, I heard the new hires were eventually evacuated to TPA.

But I know they stranded at least a few line crews in FLL.

 

My info said that buses were offered but they declined. At the same time I hear the new hires wanted to leave but were told to stay.

Maybe you have more current info than I have. I hope they got out but don't have any confirmation of that.

 

Nope, not saying that...just what I heard. I have no definitive information.

 

I am in the class just passed oral few days ago, all our classmate decided to stay. Management does find hotel and transportation at Tampa for us and we declined it. They do work hard and keep us inform via email and phone. The problem is we have too much beer in the fridge, and we don't want to leave them behind. ; )
Lastest news training center is going reopen on Saturday, which is good news to all of us.
