The average salary in this country is $46,000/yr. The average first year pay, factoring in training on a base salary with no per diem or overtime, is $38,000. It’s going to suck year one but hopefully you’ve planned ahead and accordingly. If you paid your own way through flight school either through the military or a crappy, hard working job- you've got the muscle. If you did this on your own, the first year won’t be hard; you understand how to budget and save/spend on what matters. It will be a breeze for you folks. Second year and everything after that is the big reward.

I hope everyone paid and is paying attention to our new CEO and was said today concerning the future past the pandemic. She is not looking to grown the company, rather concentrate on higher profitable customers including those in the medical field. What that means for the airline is yet to be seen, but I’m not really optimistic of much growth going forward. Investors didn’t seem to like it today either. Stock was dow 6% at one point.

20 lines South America flying. Some, about 10, are relatively clean, some a little choppy but still in commutable blocks, and some look more like base trip lines. Yet, almost all of it is in commutable blocks, a small handful of exceptions noted.
3 VTO lines
18 reserve lines: mostly week on off but some with 3-5 day blocks.
On initial glance these lines don’t appear to be that bad. Instead of complaining, perhaps the dude could offer a useful critique citing specific examples for the benefit of those interested.

ANC. domicile does not have turn lines AFAIK
SDF turn lines: 0230-0400 local show returning at or before 1200 local. ( often called morning turns )
1500-1600 local show returning around. 2345-0200 local. ( often called afternoon turns )
