For them, the best investment they can make is to insure they upgrade to captain as soon as possible and make sure the company or the union does nothing to slow them to that goal.
Just something to consider....
Couldn't of said it better new.
It seems that everything the union passes extends our stagnation even longer. To have completed 12 years of service (some while on furlough) and mathematically be looking at almost 20 years of service til upgrade, it will be frustrating if DALPA signs something that wipes out a years worth of retirements.
Up the Irons!!!
