here's how it goes down:

1. I love shrimp.

2. Remoulade is OK.

3. I hate slaw.




So, yes that was a bit of a stretch of truth. I know, I know.... it's a shock. Everything ever written on the internet is truth. I have failed the internet.

And for that, I apologize.

Would you for 110+ bucks an hour + rig+per diem?

If you are comparing Delta to UPS, I'll stay on the Airbus vs. flying Intl.. We have the same pay for each a/c, our F/O's make more than your narrow body Captains and almost as much as your 767 Captains. Our domestic per diem is just a quarter/hr less than your international per diem. Our international override is more than yours. Plus, I often fly out of my home city, so no commuting and get an effective 4 extra days off on each pairing, that means I actually work 8 days out of 28. I fly maybe 250 hrs a year. So yeah, I'm quite happy right where I am.

Me too. I haven't flown since the end of Sept. I've sat reserve at home the entire time except for a CQ sim requiring 2 days in ATL. My neighbors probably think I'm a drug dealer by now.
 
Dude this is getting more heated than calcapt and toria. Listen guys, I can arrange a live webcam show at NJC2010 and charge $20/show.

Congrats. That one of the sweet deals with reserve. If you hit it right, you can get some serious time off while still being "on the clock".

SDF, by any chance? Just curious, I'm a shining example of the caliber of person that comes out of the 'Ville. Off to kick my wife and beat my dog. No, wait...

You from Bullitt County by chance?

I'm a city boy, but one side of the family is from Big Spring, KY, which (when it appears on maps at all) is in fact in Bullitt County! The other side is from the mountains, and are beyond "redneck", venturing in to "human curiosity" territory. They tell me I look a lot like my CousinUncle.

You definitely do not have the proper pedigree to live in the UPS pilot ghetto of Oldham County. But you have a promising future working on the ramp with your breeding. :D

Hey now, there are still parts of Oldham County where the SUVs give way to Pickup Trucks. But no, you're probably not going to catch me in Anchorage. As for working the ramp, too late, '96-'99 Veteran of trying to run your airplanes in to various things (marshalling).

If you left on good terms and had a good work record, UPS likes to hire previous employees.

Oh, believe you me, I'm aware. My attendance record was a bit spotty (just out of high school), but I got a nice slightly used t-shirt for keeping two multi-million dollar aircraft from swapping paint and I think I tricked my supervisors into liking me, assuming they still work there/are alive/can be found. I've had my beady little eyes on your airplanes since I was building model airplanes (and blowing them up). Now I just have to make sure I'm competitive when the hiring window opens up again in 2020. ;)

My favorite was building model naval vessels and burning them in the back yard. Billowing black smoke from the burning plastic and explosions from implanted firecrackers. World War 2 in my backyard!

Never thought of putting fireworks in something like that. Good Idea!

Maybe I'll teach that to my nephew to piss my sister off!
