I'd say there's about an 85% chance of Band 2. How do I know? Because I can do math. The 1st quarter of 2013 is going to drop out of the equation and we will have to kick some serious tail in this quarter to make it. I don't see it happening, but I would love to be proven wrong.

Did you even read the email? It states that you will be placed with people of like job description (pilot with pilot, FA with FA) and like gender. It mentions nothing about sexual orientation and it shouldn't because it is none of the company's (or anyone else's) business. I don't know how many gay pilots we have and frankly, I don't care. Why? Because as adults our private lives are are nobody's business. But when you share living quarters with someone, it becomes your business whether you like it or not. This is a $2 billion company and they run it like a summer flying camp.
