There's no drinking buddy club if you're looking at data. There is a drinking buddy club if you're part of the sim-buddy club during your seniority-based upgrade to captain. How does that help safety?

When I say performance tracking I don't mean on-time departures. I mean fuel-savings, customer comments, peer reviews, etc.. There's no issue there.

People love to say this is a profession, but hate the thought of it being operated like one. Change is hard for labor groups. Taking away entitlement-based pay raises and promotions will never happen because it's too scary to think you might have to earn your wage. Just a fun thought !
