Strange how the thread keeps getting sidetracked to politics...
I concur that if you join AK, you'd better grab a fistful of dollars, command hours and scoot asap. You need an exit strategy from their kind of ops, or you'll end up in an early grave, or at least be admiring your framed-up license on the mantle-piece. Try working 90+hrs for a few consecutive months, with next to no SOP, FTL; TF is also only a phone-call away in case you decide an aircraft needs grounding!
195 per hour is great. But is it sustainable? Heard a rumour that it came off the cabin-crew allowances (can forget the transit BJ's now...). And what the Lord giveth, Lord TF can taketh away (your association will surely stop that from happening... Oh, I forgot. You haven't any representation... Damn).
Fly high, young man. But prepare to fly away.
