if you live in base that's fine.
but I still get all the emails from the union and talk with a bunch of pilots there..
1. about 80% of the attrition is the bottom of the list
2. a massive displacement is expected soon with the parking of the Q's and 145's
3. If you left for TSA or PSA you would upgrade in less than a year and hold a line.
4. we haven't even hit summer yet and RAH is cancelling 25% just due to lack of crews
5. How many pilots are bypassing the 145 for the 170, last I heard it was around 70 which would push back upgrade even further
Even for the sake of the contract...it is so unbearably bad that at TSA I'm on pace to make almost double what I did on 3rd year pay and am sitting Left seat.
Good luck but IMO,staying there for in base is fine but 100 numbers isn't good enough to stay
