Nov/Dec 2013 Pilot Discussion

[EastUS1]

BS!!

Your have no business lecturing any West pilot after what USAPA has done to West pilots and their families.

 
I'm surprised you've still such hostility there. While but a line pilot; I'd always argued against salting the fields (after slaughtering your livestock and burning your homes of course), but it's since been pointed out that the place is just a frikkin' desert, so I must admit my good-hearted gesture wasn't well considered anyway. 😉

Check out the Aspens near Flagstaff sometime. Nice thing about AZ is snow ski in the AM back by the pool by supper time.

Amazed by the Aspens in Colorado, but haven't been in Flagstaff during that time of year. Kind of partial to the orange and red maples. Not to fond of the humidity in Aug, but love NC this time of year.

Pi, I'd keep my eyes on those star witnesses:
Romance at USAPA Headquarters
"The Girlfriend
Lee Seham had an attorney working in his firm that had been doing legal work for USAPA. This female attorney started dating the USAPA VP Randy Mowrey. One of his clients, an Officer of a labor union, was dating one of his staff members who was closely involved in legal work for the client the labor union a big problem!"

Junebug is quite testy these days.

I got DISPLACED to the 320 Captain and I still make over $120 bucks an hour. See you on the bus, Dan! I'm making more than you and I'll only have to fly 30 hours a month (if that) to make it!

Its ok.  Several of the Westies are 1,200 to 1,400 numbers senior to themselves.  You can live vicariously through them.  😀

Really trader? You are in the top 5% of CLT 320 F/Os, BY CHOICE. You commute, BY CHOICE. Let's keep apples to apples.
 
I moved up around 10 positions on the capt side(despite more than 10 guys bidding in on top of me) and ended up a little over 100 numbers out of 757 captain. Notice all those  ++ marks on the bid?
 
It's your right to bid what you want, but BS to use the numbers as you do.

Kinda hard to move up when you're in the top 4% (#21 of 474) of your seat.  You're there by choice of lifestyle, not because you can't hold anything else.  You're on the 75 hour option.  There are 182 group 2 Captains junior to you.  You could be a line holding (#21 of 99) 767 First Officer in CLT.  You could hold a secondary line as an A330 F/O in CLT (#48 of 119) Obviously you don't need the money.

He gets paid what he is worth. Don't push it! Even if he were to bid Captain he's still overpaid.

The crazy thing is, there are guys on 4th year pay that are making more than he is.

 

[traderjake]

Where you been?
 
You left  end_of_alpa to do all the heavy lifting.

You get paid what you're worth, $125 an hour.  😀
 
I'm way overpaid, sleeping in seat 1A most of the time.

At last! We both agree on something. You are way overpaid. I think the new hire pilots do a better job than you.
