I'm tired of the "we can all hold Captain" when in fact we all know what the real story was on those out-of-seniority Captains. And none of us were Captains in DEN, ORD, LAX, or SFO.
Out of curiosity, what's the "real" story on these Captain seats? Maybe they weren't "real" Captain seats? Actually heard that one at the MEC table. And if you were a displaced IAH Captain, I must have missed your email. Every email I got suggested I fight against the displacements.
Sorry that you're tired. I am too. I just couldn't be tired while my guys were threatened with 400 displacements; that was the original number Captain...Oh yeah, while receiving a new 737 every 3 weeks.
"Tired" is a luxury I didn't have...But I'm going to bed tonight. Hope you get some rest too.
