Your quite incorrect, lifers as you call them have beed living under the same schedules. I have had nothing but working weekends for over 2 years 4 day trips worth 75 max. Lifers won't stop a junior pilot from getting a good schedule, alpa and management will with there bull they sling. This place still sucks even after bonuses.
If you are to believe alpa. Our schedules should be great being the union has stated since late last year we were getting more flying back, but our schedules still suck uncommutable, 72 hours average 4 day trips over weekends.
Management's loves this shi+, or they would change them for th he better.
