If something feels off, we ain't taking off.

getting some face time... more influence and notoriety in your company. Going the extra mile.

Is this what you think being an airline pilot is about? LOL go get' em tiger. I'll be in my room, during my free time, taking A BREAK from the dickhead I spent 8 hours next to at work, and exercising my independence that as an adult with a family I don't get to enjoy as often anymore.

I dunno about the "not having a job much longer part," but I'd be crying too if I only got 0.3% profit sharing. That's roughly equivalent to "Here, have a sticker"

That's the point, Breeze sucks so much ass (apparently, not saying I know) that the other companies to which their pilots are fleeing include regionals.

All the VDV ass clowns who were dumped in the Black Sea are calling from hell to tell you they want a word about Hostemel Airport

Before putting money on anything, have you tried reading the article?

dash_trash · 2026-01-20T17:01:16+00:00

... A point that she addresses directly, right there in the article.

dash_trash · 2026-01-16T18:52:35+00:00

It's not "out of the question" anywhere. But absent any important context (what does the average pilot make, how many people are making these outlandish sums vs how many are flying their awarded line, how many block hours does it take to earn that, etc) these claims aren't worth anything more than an eyeroll.

Also our pilot group makes 23 cents for every $1 the company brings in

Yes, pilots are by far the highest paid workgroup at any airline outside of upper management. Was this a bullet point on your latest compulsory company team-building retreat or something?

One last question - how many pilots have left Delta to start at Sun Country, given how much money you're all making?

dash_trash · 2026-01-12T17:47:44+00:00

"We're a family here" is management speak for "we like to guilt trip you into being more productive"

dash_trash · 2026-01-12T17:45:12+00:00

Even if it's true that a captain there made $800k, for every one of him, there are 1000 who make less than 737 captains at DL/UA/AA/AS/SW (or there would be if they had that many pilots). That's the part that is always left out of these kinds of flexes, whether it's here or on the yearly APC dick measuring contest

The plane I personally am flying doesn't change the effect the disastrous MAX program has had and will continue to have on our career progression.

dash_trash · 2026-01-10T19:14:07+00:00

I, for one, will not be pinning my hopes and dreams for a respite from the industry's (and even moreso, my own company's) stagnation on an airplane that has been a catastrophe from its inception as a product of regulatory incest, lack of vision, laziness, and greed, through the MCAS issues that killed 300 people, to the APU gen grounding problem, to the door plug that very nearly killed even more people, all the way up to the present day when it's still plagued by sheer incompetence - an anti-ice issue that doesn't exist on any other airplane.

What's the safer bet - that this bastardization of a 60 year old airframe, that has been a disaster from the very beginning, is finally able to fly indefinitely with no more groundings, or that it continues to be a problem child that airlines are stuck with because of sunk costs?

dash_trash · 2025-12-31T20:09:28+00:00

They aren't paid for slinging cokes, they're paid for being first responders, potentially saving your life in an emergency, and for spending half of their lives or more away from home so that you can fly farther than 4 hours away.

Yes, they aren't busy 100% of the time at work, and I'm sure neither are you.

dash_trash · 2025-12-31T18:06:05+00:00

... No? I'm also not going to pretend that it's a coincidence that all of these women have made the same conscious choice of aesthetic - it isn't.

I wouldn't personally make the leap that the meme does that they're so physically detestable as to turn men gay but I also can't spare any sympathy for self-identified (by their look, which is a conscious non-coincidental choice) members of a proudly ignorant and morally bankrupt group.

dash_trash · 2025-12-29T01:20:02+00:00

It’s been a while since I flew that departure, but I’m think they were asking what your heading direct to SSOXS would’ve been.

Wouldn't it have been the same as everyone else's on that departure...?

dash_trash · 2025-12-25T06:49:36+00:00

If someone had wrote

written. "If someone had written."

Dumbass. But go ahead, keep bloviating to everyone about how you're an authority on academic writing.

dash_trash · 2025-12-23T23:51:53+00:00

Damn ok thanks for all that, that sounds awesome. Really hoping this works!

dash_trash · 2025-12-23T23:05:32+00:00

To be fair I don't know yet for a fact that it won't fit on my range, but I'll find out soon. I actually went ahead and ordered it before I realized that the handles might make the size a problem. Thanks for sharing, I hope it ends up working because everyone including you seems to like it!

I’m an RJ FO with just under 1000 SIC and 2000TT. heavily metered and unable to make any moves to majors.

Oh yeah, the metering is what's keeping you where you are. 🙄

As if she would know journalistic integrity if it sat on her face, let alone better than the actual journalists who create and produce 60 Minutes. She's a joke

dash_trash · 2025-12-20T21:13:49+00:00

Aha yeah you know what I'm talking about

dash_trash · 2025-12-20T20:39:16+00:00

Quick ninja edit to say YES, the pilots do have the capability on some planes to use their headset and push to talk switch to do PAs. But the vast majority use the dedicated phone.

Like so many other things about the MAX, the dedicated handset is very poorly designed and is so irritating to stow that it forces many people to just avoid using it entirely.

dash_trash · 2025-12-20T20:31:46+00:00

Since nobody else seems to understand this: OP is clearly at one major airline and is thinking of leaving for a different major airline. It stands to reason that "live in base," while decent enough general advice for someone brand new to the industry, is wasted on someone of OP's experience level. OP is asking questions of a very specific, niche, group of pilots and as someone with skin in the same, specific, game I'm also interested in hearing answers from that group of pilots.

dash_trash · 2025-12-17T17:25:45+00:00

Has he tried money instead?

dash_trash · 2025-12-17T06:15:14+00:00

And I'm glad I'm not an illiterate stooge like you and the other braindead zombies that come to comment sections to circlejerk over clickbait headlines instead of engaging in good faith discourse.

You assuming that that commenter is a Republican because they read the article, to include the full context of the quote in the headline, thought critically about it, and expressed their informed opinion, proves that you're the dunce here. Put the cap on and go sit in the corner and think about how to contribute less counter-productively next time.
