Pretty sad all the people that picked up for 200%. We had a shot at higher but as usual this pilot group messed up.

I know you worked hard to get where you’re at but a minimum of $162/hr and max of $600+ isn’t so bad. You were never ‘entitled’ to those days off anyway, snap back to reality.

What about the people who couldn't drop or pick up? Should they snap back to reality too, since they're flying for straight pay?

Just counter that with the 60 knots callout.

That’s dumb. No reason whatsoever for it, and it always comes just as ATC is trying to give taxi instructions.

That one is truly stupid

Good god guys who tf cares? Both of our former companies are better off now. I’ll wear a pink clown suit and sing Disney songs all day in the cockpit if they pay me 200k and i get half the month off.

I’ll agree with that!

Just good luck ever seeing that kind of time off again.... PBS took care of that little benefit

Really, since you mentioned it....”ATC is trying to give taxi instructions”

What do think the max speed is for a 45 degree taxiway is off the runway......I bet if you looked it up instead just sayin is it “truly stupid”....you would learn (and I am actually shocked that as a rated ATP you don’t already know) that is......what for it......it is 60 knots!!!!!!!!

That’s why it is called out.

200k is not enough unless you live in the Midwest. $350-400k is a better target for leading the traditional 'major airline pilot lifestyle'. Also you need at least 18 off. 15 is working too hard.

“60 knots” was related to coming out of reverse.

What’s “stable” for?? ;-)
