Is there a dating website run by a pilot to help you find your soulmate?
it’s mainly just a resource for people looking to run their own simple index fund setup and is very much against day trading, market timing or exotic investments. Also a great place to ask questions about investing, retirement, insurance, taxes, LTD, etc, from people who actually dealt with that issue, in this industry. The guys that run it have no agenda, collect no money, allow no politics, allow no selling of anything. They’ll even help vet financial planners if you choose to go that route.

the main goal seems to be to cut through all the BS, and to save you from paying someone to play hot and loose with your money for an exorbitant fee.

While you might be right and going on hope. I'm just talking about now and not 5-10 years from now. That would be a massive 350 and 330 order in the next 7 years. Especially with delta only having 113 WB on property as of last month (350/330/764). Anything is possible though. Why they say you will never know if you made the right choice til after your career is over.

Default Leaving AA at 3 years for DAL

Is it crazy to consider Delta if the situation were different, say you had already been with AA for 3 years at 38years of age and you received a CJO? Seniority is telling me that it would be nuts to leave but QOL and monetary gains within the first few years may make up for it.....

I think the poster is probably trying to refer to our combined 757 and 767-300ER (7ER) category. How long would it take to get to the left seat in a true WB category, because the 7ER category is not paid at our WB rates.

The 767-400 is a separate category.

Wow, those are some ambitious plans. Better hope international travel gets back to what it used to be and we don't have another deep recession.

I'm a member and frequent their gouge. It's an excellent resource.

"likely"....you got a source?

Based on current orders and acquisitions from LATAM, DL is on track for 44 x A-350's and 80 x A-330, so your 65+/100+ seems a bit lofty IMO.

Airlines don't need as many "true widebodies" anymore. Delta/United/AA will all probably park their 767/757 fleets and not replace them 1 for 1.
Those piece of **** 321s that can fly for 8 hours at FL200 will probably be their replacement.

“Hundreds of Group 4 FOs hiding from bad QOL”

I think you meant to say every single one. WB FO is senior to NB CA. There are tons of 30+ year FOs on the WB. It’s gotten worse as our long haul flying continues to contract.

AA will never park their 757/767 fleet.
