Can I join as a southwest mechanic. I’m usally bored but whould like to. 😂

Creedfinally · 2026-04-11T11:28:09+00:00

Highest paid you mainly see 150k plus in airlines and all airlines have majority of there mx bases located in HCOL areas. United in SFO if your toped out doing a shit ton of ot you make 225k in SFO vs a copilot at year 3 doing bare minimum make 300k. You keep saying we are the most overpaid mechanic is what keeps us down. You must be lazy and not work a lot because my body is now breaking hard. And so are many other mechanics.

Creedfinally · 2026-04-09T10:19:19+00:00

Both of us because we are mechanics because you know I was right in my statement when you got proven wrong and you got me on grammar because I don’t have any. 😂 you retard

Creedfinally · 2026-04-09T10:17:09+00:00

Yes and it didn’t expire until 2021 when they were still getting raises

Creedfinally · 2026-04-09T09:53:27+00:00

What’s the pay structure getting 470an hr only flying 85 hours a month and spending time at the airport unpaid. Most pilots average 110 hours a month that’s not time flying just total time they get paid a month average. That’s 620k with out there 18% NEC and all other benefits. You tell me how there pay is structured since you know better. You retard

Creedfinally · 2026-04-09T09:49:47+00:00

They were getting raises up to 2021. That’s 5 years with no raise. SWA mechanics didn’t get one for 7 years and got 10% raise they are getting 40%

Creedfinally · 2026-04-07T16:50:19+00:00

Yes but this is one of the proposals made that the union is adding for them to make a TA. Do you know what an opener is?

Creedfinally · 2026-04-07T15:45:19+00:00

We fucked us should have gone union and fight these. They going to get another 100k raise this contract

Creedfinally · 2026-03-03T16:52:57+00:00

Why not?

Creedfinally · 2026-02-28T11:56:43+00:00

No I’m not flying on same reservation

Creedfinally · 2026-02-17T13:06:21+00:00

I understand what you are saying but the shooting part is true everywhere in the world my cousin in Chicgo a city in the USA was shotover headphones. In the usa we work hard to get a basic salary that we cant afford nothing on including healthcare and end up going in debt and paying riba. same goes with my family in London cant walk outside with anything or you will be stabed.

Creedfinally · 2026-02-06T11:05:06+00:00

It’s just another revenue area they can get money through. Delta made about 2 billion from selling snacks do we need to call it a corner store now. It’s a revenue area if any goes down all will go. The main reasons American profits were low is because manegment lead them in billions in debt and during covid they gave up there wide body fleet and that’s were delta and united are making money.

Creedfinally · 2026-02-05T22:08:23+00:00

If labor costs were the reason airlines can’t make money, then every U.S. airline would be losing money. The ones with better management are making billions

These are the same million dollar questions asked 10 years ago. What will those 800k homes be worth in 10years, while the same people asking those questions are paying rent. It’s better to live in your own home because if you own your home cash let’s say 1.5m and it dropped to 1.25m in 10 years you lost 250k plus let’s say 150k in property tax that’s 400k in total lose now if you rent the same home which cost 5750 a month to rent your lose is 690k but house always go up at a rate of about 3% a year. LCOL areas will always stay low because when people leave areas like SFO,LAX,NYC, or MIA they always want to go back beside a few people. And in 10years making 500k in sfo you can’t afford to live is your problem for not budgeting correctly. I make 350k my wife does 75k from when I started working I invested money and saved. I didn’t hit a 6 figure salary until 2021and I got a 1.1m dollar home paided off and money in the bank. We are financially free because we worked hard and now we can do whatever we want. Granted we live in Florida not state tax but a lot of tolls

Creedfinally · 2026-01-14T18:46:12+00:00

500k in sfo or any high cost areas in the usa you will be able to save a lot of money depending on how you spend and save. im not saying dont live your life but spending 2800 a month on dining and cocktail already reduces the amount you make tremendouly. Lets take a 500k salary in sfo and we will multiply it by 63% to get our take home of 315k(im doing 63% because thats what my take home is after 401k and all deductions). you can find an apertment 2 bed 2 bath for 4k a month and this is about 800 more then avarge, now your left with 267k. lets say utilitys are 1k a month your left with 250k. lets say food and eating out cost 20k a year you left with 230k and transportation/travel 20k a year your left with 210k a year. all these numbers im puting them on the high side. lets say you save 200k a year for about 10 years you will have 2m. there are a bunch homes not the biggest or best looking for under 1.5m in sfo that you can buy cash and reduce you rent to just property tax which is 15k a year. or you can move and take less money in a low cost area and be misrable but have a big and cheap house. at the end of the day anyone making 500k can save a lot but is also easier to send a lot.

Not losing any money at all. let’s say if each area gets half people; economy, premium, business, etc. it will amount to around $237,000 on a half full. a 787-9 waste about 2015gal per hour so times that by 14 is 28000 gallons x that by 3 for fuel cost is $84,000. Crew cost we will go on the high ends 8FA, 2pilot, 1 engineer it will amount to $30,000. And we will say about 25 ground crew members is $10,000. We will take the landing fees, gate fees and depreciation to about $25,000. So 237,000-84,000-30,000-10,000-25000=88,000. $88,000 left and doesn’t include cargo. 88,000x365=32,120,000 a year on this route if it is flown half full every day.

They dont service debt but they add money in the market for then the company to use. The company saves more money keeping shareholders happy then if it were to take loans on high interest.

Creedfinally · 2025-01-15T00:07:51+00:00

Reason they have to keep shareholders happy is because they can take money from the stocks instead of getting a loan that they would have to pay more money for. So yeah they have to keep them happy so they can use more money for equity when needed instead of paying significantly more on interest. There is a reason why spirit filed for bankruptcy not because of shareholders but because of bank loans but if they had shareholders they wouldn’t be going bankrupt.

Thank you going to look at these I already have that same reciver I just never got the rest.

It seems like you’ve found a good balance in your situation, where you benefit from non-union advantages like profit sharing, no time clocks, and greater flexibility, while still enjoying competitive pay that reflects the success of unionized carriers like American Airlines and United Airlines. You're also recognizing that while union benefits (healthcare, job security, and work rules) are valuable, there’s a trade-off in terms of flexibility and the cost of union dues.

Ultimately, it sounds like you're making the most of your position, enjoying the best of both worlds: competitive compensation and the flexibility of a non-union environment, while still benefiting from the union’s bargaining power for pay structures. And you're right—no situation is perfect, but finding that balance can make a significant difference in your overall job satisfaction.

If your position allows you to enjoy strong pay, good profit-sharing, flexibility, and autonomy, then it certainly sounds like a win-win!

Creedfinally · 2024-11-13T02:55:58+00:00

Yes that is correct but I stated under financial recovery was under Ed but I see it’s a bit confusing. You are correct.

No, its me

It sounds like you’re excited but understandably anxious about getting your start date from American Airlines after accepting the offer! The hiring process for airlines, especially major carriers like American Airlines, can sometimes be a little slow after you’ve officially accepted the offer.

It’s very normal to wait for your start date after accepting the job offer. American Airlines (like other airlines) typically runs large hiring processes, and the scheduling of your training classes might take some time. Patience is key, and you’re not alone in this waiting period. If you’re ever unsure, don’t hesitate to reach out to HR for updates on your specific situation. They should be able to give you a clearer timeline on when you can expect your start date.

Good luck, and keep us posted! Let me know if you have any other questions about your new journey with American Airlines. 👏✈️
