The more of you who stay behind waiting for things to get better, the better!
Ground school is going well. waiting to see how many more people wash out.
I love how you make it sound like all of the regional pilots north of you on the senority list are just wasting their time because they are not already at a major.
You are not even done with training and you are 3700 on the list. You have at least 3 years before upgrade if everything continues in the regional world.
If this wonderful shrinkage comes to light that you speak of you might just find yourself stuck in the right side of an RJ for a very long time.
The word at United is the 40 700's up for United are not getting renewed. With those 40 aircraft your seniority went way south. Just a thought....
