Well I saw all the name tags for the next class I am a little disappointed not to have more people in the class but at least it will fit in that class room because too much more it is too cramped. Anyways have fun and don't worry just "know the whole book" that's the joke because that is what everyone keeps telling us. In reality the review will tell you most you need to know to at least get by. start to get to know your run ups when you feel comfortable. You all should have your travel arrangements by now if your class starts on monday or does it start on the 23 not sure. Off to Orlando ask the right questions and I will answer.

BTW, that is equivalent to $24.39/hr in today's dollars.....
OR
It's equivalent to pulling down $15.20/hr in 2003.... FA's at regionals made more than that.
Hope you don't have to stay long, or you find a better gig. Good luck.

TPA is the most senior base maybe hold it in 6 months to a year but it will be on reserve for a long time I heard of one guy getting it out of training but like I said you sit reserve for a long time they should be opening gainsville and FLL is not impossible but 85% of us are going north for the first year

It also depends on whether or not you are a Capt or FO. For example, TPA is the most senior Capt base, but FLL is the most senior FO base (from what I've gathered at least). Its all fair game right now for FOs considering everything being changed down in FL, up north should all stay the same. If I were to guess, for FOs its about a 60% chance of going up north, and 40% chance filling vacancies down south for a month then eventually getting based in down there. Hope this helps.
