before anyone thinks im depressed and ready to leave this job thats not what i was getting at. I personally am enjoying republic. sure i would like more money but who doesnt. I was telling the other guy to shut up. there is a very big difference between quality of life from senior captain to reserve captain to senior FO and reserve FO. some times all it takes is a month difference in hire date at the same company and the expirence becomes totally opposite. no one should fault the guy for saying screw it and sitting down and having a drink.
