At the expense of sounding harsh, is a senior Envoy captain that's about to flow upset he got a 72 hour line instead of 92 so the guy at the bottom could keep his job?
The problem isn't necessarily a 72 hour line. I'm fine with that. The problem is a 72 hr line with 11 days off non commutable on both ends instead of 15-19 off and commutable like they use to be. Now we end up with like 7days off a month and min pay.
Honestly, a junior pilot here would be better off getting furloughed. They have no future here, may as well get out and move on early before they waste too much time here like the rest of us.
