if you take into account retirement contributions I’m making more in training than I was as a 6 year captain 🙁.

I know people love to rag on folks who focus on the pay scale in contract negotiations, but I don't think you can argue that year 1 pay is bad anymore. At least not real bad. Even before the new contract, we were making pretty decent money for NH's.

Just wait till second year pay!

This! Get the house you can afford as an FO, keep the first wife, if it floats, flies, or fornicates...

Yep. Also year 3 FO (not quite there yet) is in my mind, bananas. Especially after this next 1 Sep.

On the second note, I agree. We bought a very modest house in 2020, before I had the airline job, when I had no idea what my income would be. It's a nice place, fully renovated before we bought, but isn't huge by any means. If everything fell apart though, I could work a couple three days in the navy reserves and pay my mortgage each month. This might not be as doable now though. Interest rates are high, and the inventory is crap, at least up here.......unless you want to fork over for a 1M+ house.
 
Flight attendants aren't exactly the most fiscally responsible coworkers and their retention is super low. They might even be worse than pilots, but only barely, for ultra expensive lifestyles. Pilots with dumb stuff and bad choices, FA's with expensive items and assuming 110 hour months is sustainable.

I’d like, and could afford, a bigger house but we’ve got the golden handcuffs of a 2.5 mortgage rate and I can’t justify giving that up.

2.375 here....We could sell and make a nice chunk of change but the same price that allows for the nice profit combined with the new rates keeps us where we are. wouldn't be able to by our current house back at new price and rates......
 
…which is why the housing market is what it is today. It isn’t just the shortage of housing supply. It’s the fact the overwhelming majority of home owners either refinanced or obtained sub 3% mortgage rates in the last few years. Ain’t no one selling in this condition unless a 3D condition (death, divorce, departure from state).



I’m at 6.625% after closing Nov 8.

One of my observations from the last five years:

The nicest whips in the employee lot at SEA are always driven by Delta FAs

Oof, Guardian must have paid better because it was a decent pay cut for me first year.

Yeah, we’d always had a reputation of not being the highest paying, but you had a couple other things going on too. I’m sure there was a pay bump for living in Dilly, I think you moved over prior to the newest contract, and definitely before the latest snap-up.
 
I filed for eviction for my punk ass b-word of a tenant.


The straw that broke the camels back?



Hearing that she got a new car.



B-word can afford a new car, but can’t afford to pay her rent? Eff that noise.
 
Nobody has any sympathy for you. With the privilege of having rich parents letting you live in their home way below market rent.

You have a failed business, that’s probably because you didn’t do your due diligence. Choose to be a landlord, buy the ticket, take the ride.

Why do you hate small business owners?
