See, you will be just fine, others, ehhhh, not so much.

Yeah, we're really scared. :laugh:

 

[SWA/FO]

PCL = the new CAPT AUS. minus the CAPT title and buyout cash. :bawling:

Did his offer to pay Delta $40,000 to sit in the right seat of the 717 get turned down?

Actually he was wanting a wide body slot so he could get HIS wide body in the cockpit.

A bunch of you paid to sit in SWA cockpits. You shouldn't throw stones in a glass house.

Not even close Jim, you can't compare the fact that SWA requires a particular type rating with the pay to fly scheme of GIA. You know better, and so does anybody else with half a brain.

SWA requires a type rating. Some already have it and some don't. Those that don't have to pay to get it and therefore have to pay to get their job.

Not as blatant or as much as GIA was, but they are still paying money out of their pocket to get into a SWA right seat.

$7000 compared to $70000 is quite a difference
