Um I was furloughed for a year and a half, sat on reserve for almost two years before I held a ****ty junior line, wasn't assigned the base I wanted when I was recalled, kept getting pushed down in IAD when guys senior to me would bid there to hold a line, or when they did the temporary assignments, and am a 7 year FO with no upgrade in sight. It took me about 5 years here before I started seeing improvements in seniority and QOL. So yes, I've felt the brunt of it. This is almost nothing compared to what happened to some mainline guys during all the bankruptcies as well.

Edit: not to mention, I've missed countless holidays, birthdays, and other important and fun events while all this was happening. Which I'm sure will be happening again when I leave here. So believe me I understand
