    The pay sucks! about $15 per flight hour and $1.26 for every hour I am on the ground. I am the lower man on the todem pole so I got paid about $700 last month... Sucks! But I have a more steady schedule now and that should double this month. But it still sucks! I am used to much more working as a server. But it has great benefits! And I love my job!

    I work for Mesa Airlines. They are a codeshare with Delta, United and US Airways. We fly all of their express flights. I fly out of O'Hare, so I fly all the United Express flights. I am looking to go mainline, but it will be hard to get a line. I will be sitting reserve for so long. But if the pay is better, it might be worth it. I am looking at going to Southwest!

    I have heard some crazy things about flight attendants and married pilots away from home... watch out for those guys! But have you noticed yet, party-scene pilots with party pads hosting port to port parties? I know you don't drink, but it still sounds like some good times... ENJOY!

    I'm a career Creative Director (Graphic Designer) and remodeler of houses (mostly my own right now) in the spare time I don't have.

    I'm an automation design engineer. I design and build sport hovercraft as a hobby. Now my hovercraft has to share my spare time with my VX!

    huh...I don't think I ever posted on this thread. I'm a commissioned officer in the US Army. I am a tank platoon leader...I own 16 of your soldiers and 4 your tanks, Mr. Joe Taxpayer...

    People think Robert Duvall was merely a crazy character in Apocalypse Now...we actually ARE like that...its more tongue in cheek than nutty, I swear. Honest. I'd wear my stetson more than I do now, if it didn't get in the way.

    Most of the pilots are really boring! They don't want to socialize at all!!! So I am usually in my hotel room all alone...missing my VX that has to sit outside in this aweful weather in the Midwest! But stereotypes exist for a reason...so I am sure there are a few out there...
