I'll lay it out for you in real simple easy to understand terms.
The Article claims a FIVE YEAR UAL F/O is making $130.641. I'm a 16 year F/O stuck on reserve almost never able to break guarantee. So that means that the article is using fuzzy math to come up with inflated numbers. So while it is possible that a guy could be making that if he was a line holding 5 year widebody F/O the reality is that the vast majority if any of us aren't.

Yes that is barely cracking 100K, basic math would indicate such. Sounds like you settled for a lousy bottom feeder of a job, I hope things work out for you in the future.

Where in the world did you see anywhere that I said I wasn't "making it" on my current wages? I only inferred that the article was full of sunshine and baloney. Never ONCE did I mention anywhere or infer that I wasn't "making it" and I don't appreciate your juxtaposition of that little ditty when it comes to my post. A little reading comprehension might be in order before you go spouting off like that in the future.

You have the entitlement mentality of a guy who didn't spend any time at a regional.

Actually, Hoss's road to UAL wasn't anything like the typical RJ driver nowadays. Meaning, he flew crappy equipment under non-existent work rules.

These kids don't have the slighest clue. I had 3,000+ hours before I saw my first flight director or turbine engine or auto pilot, that worked. 5,000+ before I ever stepped foot in a jet and that was real jet, a DC-8 that went all over the world, raw data no PFD's, ND's or FMC's, war zones included, not some automated barbie jet flying DSM to MSP, like Jr. here thinks he's paying his dues in.

Entitlement my butt. Lets not even talk about the last decade of fun and that was the easy stuff.
