Now, if you are already in your comfy left seat, all it really means is poorer choices of pairings to chose from. But, if you are still in the right seat, it means another contributor to the already long delays to upgrade = loss of income. Given the time value of money, and the hits from over 60, 4a2b, loss of third seat aircraft, and dumbocrats in the white house, it paints a murky picture for the foreseeable future.
Here here! But honestly, we shouldn't be entertaining LameBrain or IncompetentFool. Neither one truly gets it, and very rarely makes any real sense. They are the weak links in the union (assuming that they're union members), so happy for whatever they get because they never thought in a million years that they would get paid to fly airplanes. Please!
It seems we're becoming a mini-UPS, in that we're trucking more and flying less. Which does not bode well for the future in terms of hiring and upgrade and a myriad of other issues.
God help us when the second generation takes over the company.
