I've been happily employed at my airline since 2013. I have been a Captain since 2015, but after some soul-searching, I decided to pursue a legacy and fly 'The Friendly Skies' of United. The airline industry is very cyclical, and since the pandemic, market forces have put significant pressure on ULCC/LCC airlines. The changing market, RTX engine issues, and oversaturated markets are making it t...

Took the opportunity this afternoon to do some pattern work before the line of weather moved through The good thing about a poor TAF forecast is it usually means the pattern is empty and I have the local area all to myself. There is something therapautic about mindlessly doing touch & Go's until you get low on gas. When it warm out 99% of my approaches and basically power off 180ºs. In the wint...

Some early morning Club Flying. Low level flying is not for everyone and that's fine. It's something I'll occasionally do early in the morning where nobody else is around. It's a lot of fun and really makes ya feel like a fighter pilot, lol even if you only are doing 70mph. Now, there is an argument that this may be risky if the engine quits but a few things to think about. I'm close enough to ...

Anna was the last of my four daughters to go flying with me in the family Cub. She was really really afraid at first but shortly after take off she started to like it. By the time we landed I think she really really loved it. Small steps are key. I first started by just bringing her around the airport, then had her sit in the plane, then just Taxi and finally she was ready to at least try it! W...

The Cub only weighs 750-ish lbs so any amount of wind could have a big impact on flying the J-3. As long as you are proactive with your flight control input it isn't too overwhelming. Also a good reminder then when the tail stops flying, you better get the tailwheel down or you may find yourself headed for the weeds because you don't have tailwheel steering, and you don't have enough airflow ov...

    Congrats on the move. I think it will work out for you in the long run. One thing to be cautious of though is a crazy high percentage of United pilots have been hired in the last 3 years. Alot of very young guys. Also if and when the market tanks the international and premium options are the first to go and that stuff kills the legacies. Hire till they furlough.

    • @Bananasssssssss

      Yeah. I thought post Covid the legacies were in for a rough time, lol. I was wrong. I think legacies have done a good job of generating multiple revenue streams vs ulccs. (CCs, business, intl etc). It is pretty frustrating that I’ll be thousands junior to younger, way less experienced guys & girls but thats how it goes, not mad about it but do wish the timing of all Of this was different.

    • @Bananasssssssss
      @Bananasssssssss 14 годин тому

      @@Andrew-tb9vr my Current pay rate as a 12yr CA is $308/hr. First year Pay as an F/O is $118/hr-ish at UAL. So at first it’s a massive pay hit, however currently at United (always subject to change) by year 2 you can hold CA (meaning around your one year anniversary), and that pay rate I believe is $343/hr on the 737 (+/- a few bucks). By the end of their current contract it’ll be almost $400/hr. If NK files CH 11 my rate would most likely go from 308 to $250-ish?? (+/- $20) Very hard to say, Just my guess. If NK doesn’t file CH 11 a new CBA with any gains is probably 3-5 years away… also, senior WB F/Os make what I make now as a topped out Spirit CA. Also, at the 121 level it is never a salary. It’s a “base bay of 72” hrs but usually the monthly credit is 80/85hrs or so. Some months more, some months less. Last year when Spirit was short staffed it was pretty easy to credit 120+ hrs a month

Southwest hired me, and I decided not to chase airplanes and be content. I retired early due to losing my wife to ALS. I’m just a dad and a farmer, as well as a flight instructor. Here is the thing, you’ll do fine, because you are showing up. Over all, we are in a rut, and people just aren’t trying.

      I personally would. The problem now is the last few years Those starting out have gotten spoiled and hired with very minimum experience. The industry is very cyclical and even now looks like its starting to change again. I would personally love to have the insurance of knowing I have a pathway. The only issue is if that airlines “pathway” program, they may not want to hire you outside of that.
