My how we have improved the profession on our watch.
Most are all around forty with no retirement, no seniority and no longevity.
I got to lose my first Capt. seat to Com Air's RJ's, so I'm pretty well aware of what happened there.
I was constantly calling the DALPA phone in 1992-3, asking why we weren't putting them (and ASA pilots) onto our seniority list. Then there was JC and the RJDC, and the rest is a sad, ugly history of how we allowed over 50% of our domestic flying to be outsourced to cheaper labor.
We are our own worst enemies.
