Before i get those of you to jump all over my case asking why im interestedin NK, I'll give you a quick background on my situation. Im currently flying turbine helicopters for a sheriffs office in florida. The job is good and has security with good benefits but things ffor me have changed. I resigned 4 years ago to fly for the regionals because it was a long time goal of mine to fly 121 and ultimatelymake it to the majors. Well, long story short, i had to return to the SO after a year and a half due to some personal family matters ( i became a single father). When i came back, i was no longer eligiblefor retirement benefits so it became a dead en for me. I'll be making 60k for the rest of my career with maybe a few cost of living raises here and there. I need to get back to the airlines and because im relatively a low time guy ( compared to other applicants), my options are slim. I have the requirements for NK but not much more. I figured i can only have a chance back at the regionals but id rather be at NK over a regional anyday of the week...i dont know if the would even give me the time of day but i figured i can take my chances. Anyway, i wanted to know about crew bases and senority. I live in florida so fll is the best option for me so id like to know how senior it is and how long it would take to hold after training. Thanks in advance!

It's closer to three million if you are 45. More if you're younger. Obviously in today's airline vacuum

It would be nice to make that amount every year without making deals.

If a legacy 320 captain makes $4,000,000 a year while Spirit CAs makes $150,000. It doesn't mean squat to a regional FO/CA making $40-70K when the only offer on the table is from NK, nor does it mean anything to current NK pilots without job offers from the legacies.
So dude, you're missing out MILLIONS, when are you leaving?

Walter Sobchak: Huh? No, what the **** are you... I'm not... We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.
Donny: What the **** is he talking about?
The Dude: My rug.
Walter Sobchak: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!
Get the point Donny aka RI

I was moderated by the moderators for expressing my discontent for spirit management's approach to negotiations. The words we all hear in the cockpit everyday and words used by most Americans in the workplace everyday with their peers are not acceptable here. Lighten up APC, this isn't dinner with your grandma.
