It's the first six months. Not first bid.

Bid QOL(spend time with your kids), live below your means, and save save save.

8-D-1-e An Equipment training freeze shall not restrict a Pilot from bidding to a “new” Category (a Category shall be considered “new” for all vacancies with advertised effective dates within six (6) months of the advertised effective date of the first vacancies bid in that new Category).

Not correct. For those that are gone on long term military leave, they take a look back at your last 12 months of work, and whatever your monthly average is for those months, you’ll get 16% of that put into your B-fund.

However, you do not receive profit sharing for the years your are out on ML.

WTF you talking bout Willis? Buy that Porsche and a house on the beach, you done made it!

No seriously, I’ve met some new hires with millions dollar houses in the Bay Area driving $100k cars because their future upgrades will pay it off. Living pay check to paycheck is only temporary.

If you were a 756 pilot, you’d be able to bid 787 or 777 immediately anyway, since it’s a step up. No freeze if moving up.

Talk about good problems to have. Our class was hired with $29/hr and no insurance for 6 months. No 8-ball, no half-winger pin, and I can count on one hand the number of times anyone bought a beer or covered the tab the first year.

Glad things have changed.

No housing covered during training either.

Yeah, that one had me scratching my head. Funny how the Cherry Creek/TK bus conveniently made a stop by our accommodations. It was a sellers market.
