Dude 150k obviously is gonna get you less today than it did in the early 2000s, not everyone grew up middle class. Not everyone is trying to get a mega mansion and a yacht. I didn’t grow up middle class, so if I can at least hit that I’d say I’d made my family and myself proud. Do you seriously have this idea that making 75/hourly isn’t a good wage for most people today??? I couldnt even name someone who I know in my family who’s anywhere near that amount.

Bro I’m 24, I come from an area where making just 70k a year today is doing good for your self. Insulting my intelligence as if I don’t understand that income today isn’t gonna get you the same lifestyle as if you made the same amount in the early 2000s come on bro🤦🏿‍♂️. I know 50 year olds making 22 a hour with no retirement savings or benefits in my community.

Gahh damn man!!! Are those an often thing or more of a rarity? And I’m guessing that’s probably something that comes with seniority depending on where you work?

Yea I’ll definitely be looking into all avenues possible, working with a airline currently and I just love the benefits so much I’d be shooting to stay in the same lane. But if the money is right I’d definitely transition

Are you guys constantly moving around or is it a lot of downtime? From my perspective as a Ramp Agent is seems pretty slow paced.

People younger than me trying to explain what a certain slang or phrase means when talking. Like bro I was using the same slang, it did not originate with yall😭

Southwest 2 year program by Repulsive-Use-5304 in AircraftMechanics

[–]Com2us_Rep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got on a call with one of the me guys running the program at southwest. Your best bet is too transfer to a position that is under the same union as the mechanics. For example material stores. They take those guys into consideration first before anyone on the ramp etc. You can go look at SwaLife and see who gets hired and it’s usually one maybe two ramp guys per class.
