My shop doesn’t have widebodies, until just very recently with a merger. Still will be a while until SOC, JCBA, and SLI, plus fences.


I’m in no rush. I like the 737 gig. Short trips and home often, plus I’m making bank doing the game. That game will be harder to pull off on the widebody.

I can't hear CQ without thinking Carrier Qual from the Navy. Honestly wouldn't shock me if that is exactly where it came from.

I mean I dunno, company is mostly civilian backgrounds, and the mil folks I've flown with seems pretty Air Forcey. I've flown with a couple navy guys, only one of them was a carrier dude (from Desert Storm). I think Jet America had a decent amount of 'hookers, but seems to be the McChord mafia from the cheap seats. I think there are a couple Navy carrier dudes in the training department, but they're old. Might be wrong

Just wait until one of them refers to legs as sorties :p

No, I know. was being semi-tongue-in-cheek. I have seen military influence in training departments, manuals, and nomenclature at previous companies but I don't really see much evidence of that here.

at AA, WB FO is one hell of a gig...yes you can make the same as NB CA and work a lot less (clarification: if you fly the just your guarantee, no, NB CA makes more)

My neighbor is a 10 year 78 FO...bids short call and works about 1 trip a month and picks up another, works about 8 days a month and makes close to the same as a NB short call CA but works 10 days fewer!

that being said, the super senior NB captains who would be junior on the WB side, stay NB because they can manipulate their schedules and make a killing (6-700K+) without killing themselves.

Since Sept I have been physically flying about 6-9 days physically and crediting 115-125 hrs/month. Capped at 12th year for couple years now, I’m making bank in this gig.

Productivity soared as did profits with the advent of zoom meetings. The only people that want the workforce back in office are managers with stones to grind.

I’ve watching my FIL “work from home.” I’d say he’s actually working 50-60% and just walking around the house / talking to others, etc. what a joke. He’s at 3 days in the office, 2 remote. Needs to be 5 office / 0 remote.

Yes. Reserve. Jan flew 1 day on reserve. Feb was the most so far, 6 days. March was 2 days. April 0. May 0.

Days off pickup , at least three 2-day trips like a EWR. That adds about 33-38 hours. Sometimes can fit in a 1 day trip as well, another 5-7.5 hr pay.

So short call 84 plus 33-38+ hrs


I said “physically flying.” Days on reserve at home are not off days, but if I’m not used, it feels like an off day. And no, I don’t drink.
 
Average capitalism fan: capitalism allows us to enjoy advances in productivity brought about by technology!
Also capitalism fans when workers want to enjoy advances in productivity by working less or making more money: • you, no.

By not flying at all while on call.

I have been pretty lucky on reserve too, which is why I bid it. Flying more this month than I have in a while, and I am at 22 hours.

I’ve only been called for a 2-day and a 3-day trip in the last six weeks. But open time has been slim pickens to grab stuff on days off.
