"And Best of All..."

[X-Forces]

I've never seen one, but I believe that these are job offer ads.

Mesa only advertises (television) in PHX. It's mostly for rampers in PHX, since they pay didly sqwat, non-union and the atrition rate is astronimical. So they advertise at night when the targeted age group 18-30 is watching the telly. They're looking for thos kids that just got out of high school, and college student looking to make some cash. They trwo out the bone (free travel) and it reels them in! Even USAirways has a high turnover rate as far as rampers go.
No one wants to work out on the sizzling summer tarmac, where temps get up to the 120's much less get inside the bins with no airflow and throw bags. When I started at Comair on the ramp I made close to $10 for the first 6 months, where it then increased to to almost $11. Mesa pays starting out $6.75.:rotfl: And I laugh at this one. USAirways recently raised it's pay to $9.00.:rotfl: I about fell over laughing. A "major" airline that pays less than some regionals. My cohorts at AA would laugh if the comapny tied to pay us that. Hell I made more than that staring off at American. I made $11 and I was just 18. At that time I was the yougest guy to work for AA in SAN. $11 was like rollin in the dough for an 18 yrs old.

Cheers for that guys, I was wondering what it was all about.

I love that guy, he's pretty much my hero.

(The green thing that is)

I just had to take the time to concur, the green smiling guy makes me smile and chuckle everytime, definately a hero in my book!

What ever happened to those days I wonder?

They are probably next to the days that had no ads in the TSA plastic trays:

Coming to an airport near you - security tray ads

Crazy, huh?

You have GOT to be kidding me.

The Transportation Stupidity Administration in the sack with Advertisers........

Real nice!

How about a Smith & Wesson ad at the bottom of one of those bins?

Actually I shouldn't joke, give it time and you'll probably see one before long.

SWA started out at less than $9 when I started there in 02. Then again, the profit sharing, overtime and holidays more than make up for it.....

It'd be one thing if we had them doing something that actually increased our security. Hell, man, I just got back from Canada, and only passengers going to the United States had to take off their shoes. It's like the Canadians agree with what our wonderful department of homeland (in)security said and know that x-ray machines don't detect explosives but the TSA, which is part of that department, doesn't.

But they'll just spend it on $100K remodels of the director's office.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, and a waste of our money.
