The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??
- Thread starter A4sForever

Concur, Wink. You did a most Excellent job.
Please... move to the the head of the class.
This reminded me of the military pilots I knew that could qualify for the ATP, but didn't make the time to go get it before the rule change made it significantly costlier in time and money. When the FAA offers a good deal, consider it a limited window and don't put off getting it.

Some JO with nothing to lose needs to ask CNATRA an airline specific question at Hook.
Like
“sir I have a two part question: , I’m trying to build my hours to go to the airlines, would you recommend T-45s or T-44s for my shore tour? Second part-are there good resources in the VTs for folks like me who are interested in going to the airlines?”
When I and two other SELRES buds went to Fallon with our mob squadron to work up with the CVW for Desert Storm, the skipper advised we not talk airlines and leave the application forms at home (which had turned up randomly at the RAG before 
). Of course, there was the cheeky NWA guy that rolled his airline suitcase with crew tags on it across the ramp with his helmet hanging from the hook. The kicker was, however, running into the F-18 RAG CO in the club. He was my recruiter and Handler on my first ship. All he wanted to do was talk about the airlines and his chances of getting in. I knew his chances were 42%, but I didn't want to crush the guy since he was the most senior officer I was friends with, so I didn't tell him the truth.

For those of you who like to read things and decide for yourself... or find someone to read to you since you can’t... the 2018 Major Airline contract comparison put out by Delta’s Union is available. Pretty good read for folks who are into that sort of thing.

Reading that was like reading Penthouse Forum when I was 15.
I hope Delta gets the best contract they can. And then we best it.
The Navy needs a better union.

For me it's more like elementary school when my buddy had a giant stack of magazines. I didn't really know what I was looking at but I knew it was exciting and couldn't wait to see the real thing.
If you want some excitement with The Show you could always go here. CalFire needs pilots.

That's not The Show. That's a flying job that may be fun (and necessary) but has a shitty QOL and shittier pay. It has mostly young guys trying to build hours or old guys who didn't make it to The Show for one reason or another. Like everything else, there are exceptions - like the few who do it because they really think it is important - but they really are the exceptions.
Fair enough...keep in mind that I am not one of those who gets paid to fly, I pay to fly!
Apparently Boeing can't keep up with 737 demand! @mad dog

Probably...and he probably has a minty all original Omega Speedmaster 2915-1...with correct bracelet and end links...as well as original box & papers...including the entire service history.
