I've never met a post-doc making less than $40k...It's kind of sad that most regional FO's would jump at any carrier paying 40k first year.

Does anyone know what the fourth column on the flowplan is? It's not labeled and it is either blank, "Y" or "NN". Thanks.

It's their guesstimate of if you'll pass training and/or how many tries it will take you (NN = 2 failures). Based on your prior training and probie line evals.

You may only be thinking medicine phds. I know criminologists make next to nothing after they get theirs, so the original comment isn't that far from the truth.

now that you are admitting that you're a hypocrite, what's the deal with your currently employer? If the regionals were not good enough for you then, why is it now? not bashing you, just trying to get your new perspective on flying!!!

Yeah, I got my info from someone who works in science, specifically research. If you have an MD/PH.D, you will be making some coin, but specifically research, not so much. But most of them do it because they enjoy the work. Hmm sounds like pilots?
