The 747 bubbas affected are going to exert pressure on all of us except the very top. I won't be displaced, but will likely move down a little. Nah I won't be executed, I'll just get chewed out. I've been chewed out before. If I'm displaced, I'll displace to a seat I've been contemplating bidding anyway. I am hopeful there was a rapid aircraft acquisition like I've heard about for 3-4 months now.
I've got to admit, the green slips have been a boon to me personally this year, but that's only one piece of the equation.
Great movie line.
I guess I just want to structure our pay and compensation that takes "hope" out of the equation. Betting on the Come is not a good strategy imho. I didn't bet on the DB plan from day 1. It always felt like a house of cards to me. I'm not honking my own horn with that statement, it is just that I don't like "promises" that are dependent on the actions of others, and that take me completely out of the loop of control. Aircraft acquisitions/deployments fit perfectly into that paradigm. I don't like having 4 of my 5 cards showing, and only 1 of those that are making those decisions in a game that is very high stakes. To me, THAT is insanity.
And as an aside... yes I am watching FOX at the moment, but they just posted that the median household net worth has dropped 36% in the last 10 years...
Vote out the incumbents. ALL of them
