The Majority of F/Os I fly with are figuring out how to escape. One went to a Job Fair before OE, lol. It's not that guys are miserable per se but they aren't exactly "Happy" either. It's like when I was at XJT. Everyone is just doing the "BARE" minimum until a legacy calls or we get a contract. Just an observation
I was "happy" for a while, but the schedules and pairings for the last couple of months are absolutely dismal. Who would want to fly extra when you are gone 6 days in a row, not even including commute time?
Even if you live in base, you only get a night at home to swap out laundry before leaving again for another 2,3 or 4-day pairing. Or, you get to subtract hotel or crash pad expenses from your low-tier salary if you are a commuter.
I like what you did there: "BARE Minimum". Maybe our graphic artist can make that into a simple yellow and black sticker or ID lanyard.
