Talking No More Pax For Me

As most of you know it has been a while since I have been on this board. I have been in ground schools and sims for nearly 4 months straight. After changing equipment at my old regional carrier I decided to leave due to numerous reasons, including problems in payroll.
Everything worked out well as I am now home based, doubled my pay, and am flying a much larger plane. Best of all there are no more whining passengers or FA's, just quiet containers.

That's a nice way of putting it.

Can we ask what you'll be flying and where?

Anyhow,

Congrats!

Do you have to start out riding the sideways seat that doesn't flush? Or do they put you right into the right seat?

It all depends on the demand and experience. I was fortunate enough to go straight to the right seat and not be a plumber.

I have approx 4500TT with the majority of it turbine aircraft. Lower time guys and older guys usually get the panel.

Plumbing on the 727 is actually pretty cool. Easy money for the most part and it's nice to have done it if you ever become a Capt on the 727.

I can't leave this place, it's sucked me in. And a few members have threatened to hunt me down if I take off

Nice! I met Doug at Martin State airport last summer; what a nice guy. We talked about drag racing, and what it is like throwing the laundry out at 330 MPH in 4 1/2 seconds. To hear him describe it is poetic!
