How long were you at the regionals and where did you go from there?

[OneNineHundy]

3 years regional, 2.5 years LCC. Major for the past 12 months.

 

[SmoothLanderJ]

If QOL is the goal, then the legacies are the place to be. Move to base, bid reserve on the most overstaffed equipment, and sit back and get paid to relax while flying 100 hours a year.

Ill get right on that. .....wait a minute!

 

[SmoothLanderJ]

2.5 years at a regional, 4 years 121 supplemental / charter. ..hired at a major last November

 

[Seggy]

Reserve goes senior at some legacies. I was, initially, the last guy on the list as DTW320A (A is captain, @Seggy) and I had a good line.

Appreciate the translation!

BTW, looks like I am going to be learning Le FiFi speak again soon...

As long as I pass over the Decel Point or forget to 'confirm and activate' the approach the plane won't go around when the gear is dropped, right @PeanuckleCRJ ?

 

[Nick]

Oh don't forget it's a great place to raise a family. @Nick how many times we hear that crap?

The schools are great.

@Seggy do you get a shortened course at your legacy since you are already typed on the 320? One can't get a type ride again if they are already typed?

 

[Autothrust Blue]

<— 2550. BUT I had 21 hrs TPIC.

Wow. Awesome! (I didn't know the former figure.)

 

[derg]

Yup! And strangely, I was one of the few regionals with ANY turbine PIC.

Is IAH 737 still shrinking or would u just be way more senior on the baby bus?

 

[Buzo]

4 years and 23 days, then to NWA in 2008.

 

[Autothrust Blue]

Really? I think we were all greedy ani.

What the hell.

Guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't get into this job to top out at some low to medium figure. Much less to actually work for said figure.

Additionally, I don't run my consulting business out of the kindness of my heart. Time is money, and our time as professionals should be valued appropriately.

Plus, I can be a pretty material kind of individual - so I'll chalk that up for my greed.

I'll never understand those who consciously say "Oh no, no thanks Sir, I'm happy with what you pay me. Don't dare pay me more."

I'm going to make your airline a LOT of money and I'm going to do it safely. In exchange, I want to be paid a lot of money. Fair deal.

A well compensated and well trained pilot is the best insurance policy.

I was going to ask if IAH was reducing 737 in base. @CaptBill if you have to change planes I say bid the 747. 8)

 

[mastermags]

8 years and 2 weeks at ASA, just finished INDOC at a large carrier. No TPIC.

 

[bike21]

Going on 10 years this fall, hope I don't make the 10 year anniversary
