I am voting no, but I hate when someone who should know better pulls info out of thin air. It makes you look like the dumb one.
If you think I spend my time worrying about what a new hire Capt will make then you my friend are the one smoking crack. Me I've still got the back nine to play. FOUR..........................

But I agree my vote will be NO.

This equation is a little more balanced.

Anyone remember when we were voting ALPA back in? One of the big selling points was the army of accountants and computers available to put true monetary value on every change as an aid in negotiations. Where the he!! is that army?

I give. Based on Rowdy's doom & gloom forecast I'm selling my home and moving to either base that FedEx needs me. I will also be spending all my equity on the required 3 months of security deposit plus the $65,000 or so that it will cost to get my kids into school for the first year. After that I will convince my two daughters that living together in the same bedroom is cozy and we will all get to know each other better in our 10 X 10 living room that I will be subsidizing with my remaining mortgage money.

I will try to teach my wife that "nose position is everything" when driving on public roads and quit being a courteous driver.

When my time is up abroad I will return to the US broke and without a down payment for another home. I will then continue to rent and try to build up a down payment since I blew it all to a landlord while overseas. After 2-4 years I will hopefully be able to get back into the home market and have enough money for a starter home. That is if my wife didn't leave me half way through this debacle and taken half of my rent money with her!!

Man this sounds f*ckin great! Where do I sign? NOT A CHANCE IN HE!!

Give it to the newhires. If they are that hungry or it looks good to them............fly.......be FREE!!!!!!

Sorry if I got beat to that, but I was just answering Rowdy's post based on what I had seen on the company's website.
