Too much, apparently. I just flew with a guy that spent the night in SFO ops. Since the extension LOA rates weren't enough apparently, maybe the snap up $ will finally be enough for CAs to afford the Red Roof... :rolleyes:

I definitely resemble that remark!!

Delaying distance learning for an extra 4.54% isn't being a cheap pilot; it's just not being a dumbass. Would you step over a Jackson on the sidewalk so that you weren't perceived as being a cheap pilot?

It's a $14 raise. After taxes, an extra $8. By all means, waste brain cells thinking about it.

(If I didn't know better...I'd say this was Quaine!). ��

On that train of thought it's almost two packs of cigarettes.

The irony is the ones that nuke it out the most are usually the ones living paycheck to paycheck, and can't rub two nickels together.

Yes I have....hate to admit it. Those 6 day Guams are hard to pack for if you carry the old bag!

But I do carry the new one quite a bit, the handle sticks....must be that cheap pilot mentality.
