Is it Trans States fault that they can fly for a profit while maintaining a happy pilot group with a better than average contract? Again, no concessions. Upgrade times are quick. Pilots are happy here. Most people are coming here to have an opportunity they otherwise wouldn't have had at their previous airline. This is what your mad about? What is it that you are 'crusading' for? You sound like a clown
I've said it several times: I'm bit mad about anything. You are making statements about fast upgrades that you "believe" are going to continue. The simple truth is that they may continue IF you get enough FOs to fill your coffers. Your jet contracts are relatively short and your future after that very uncertain. YOU may be finally happy but I believe the "dupe" is on a new hire FO. Just my belief. In 20+ years, I've seen it too many times.
