Oh yeah, I get that. The sad thing is if they came to me and said, "Since you won't get to the line until at least October (November more realistically), we will pay the difference through the new year, not train you on the Q, put you on a 200 as an FO, then cut your pay in the new year." I would be all for it.

I'm game to save the company $20k for giving me a type I will never fly. Alas, these are the same folks who negotiated a deal to break even ... at best. Clearly, they aren't very smart.


(sorry, I still have the 135 mentality of dealing with a company who wants to make money. And when it asks for favors, it gives them in return)


Chapter 7 is the answer.
