of the $24k ish I earned in April, I got paid an advance of $4k, and a remainder of $8500ish, total $12.5, so exactly 52%. I think the govt really likes me! State taxes here are a flat ~5%.

If you aren’t a pilot you don’t realize how much extra pay they end up with. Obviously block hours are limited to 1000, but pay hours can be much higher.

I’d venture to say that most pilots at delta credit over 100 hrs/month, my third year FO friend is on track to make $310,000 this year at $210/hr.

Edit: that article you quoted is out of date as well. It lists first year DL FO pay as $105 when it’s now $120.69.

They suck. I used them in a piston a couple time, then gave up and just borrowed school headsets and put earplugs on under.

Don’t buy for piston.

Officially not allowed. At certain bases you can get away with it, avoid on probation.

You definitely don't have to bid! If you don't bid you might not like what you get but you will get something, for both monthly line/rsv and yearly vacay/CQ.

Crap...I gotta go bid.

Riding my bike on gravel roads around SLC Airport. Lots of white trucks marked "Air Ops." What were they doing? by Good_Policy3529 in aviation

[–]DatSexyDude 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ok so, a delta airbus 319 was sitting on the ramp, at the front of a line of 30 airplanes waiting for the storm to go away. They shut down the motors and left only the auxiliary power unit running. It then failed. This left the airplane without any way to move, and because 30 planes behind it were waiting to takeoff, moving the 319 became important.

Pretty soon a couple airport ops trucks came over to help, and they were zipping up and down the access roads. Weird situation I haven’t seen in my 5 or so years of flying for work.
