Capn, ftb;
Might want to reread my post. Missed my point completely. Wasn't braggin' nor complaining. Just stating my personal experiences. This biz was/is/always will be a total crap shoot.
Point I was trying to make is; it gets old flying with the guys (or reading their forums) who are always complaining about getting hosed... I guess my expectations were never that high... Seeing all the airlines fold during my early years, I pretty much decided if I made it through my entire career with the same airline without spending any time on the street, I won the lotto.
btw, I have voted no on every contract since being hired... primarily because of scope.
p.s. ftb it was the mighty 727, not the muddy-dog.
