What exactly makes you better than me? Date of hire? Bigger balls? More days off? Tell me so I can spread the word to all the other Saab/Q pilots to shake in fear of the mighty Jet pilots because of ___________. I had nothing to do with the implementation process as I am sure you didn't either. I am tired of trying to commute and getting lectured in the JS about how I personally am screwing you guys when quite simply I am just trying to get home after working a 4 day that turned into a 6 day trip because of OUR company's ineptitude to staff this freaking place.
"Tell me how you would feel if you walked into your crew room you've been visiting the last 5 years to only see it filled with new captains from another airline." Sure come on down to IAH... we've got some of yours too... and a lot more of them headed to EWR.
Drink some bad judgement juice and relax. If you want to hang onto this for the next 20 years and let it give you a myriad of health problems then go ahead... I can't stop you because you are a big kid now. But you can't fight this because the implementation is done and over. All I see in your post is frustration, anger, and fear and it is all being directed at the wrong people. Try being angry at the people who put you and I in this position... it doesn't help much but it does help.

Have a great weekend and be safe out there.
