You can always leave F9 for a direct entry Captain position at a Regional and make more money, right? Oh wait, that would mean you'd have to again get used to being treated like a small farm animal with, at best, 12 days off per month.
How many days off you have last month? That's what I thought.
You made the decision to come here knowing the pay AND knowing that we are years away from a new contract. What, you think management is just gonna suddenly adopt a Santa Claus complex and give you a pay raise out of the goodness of their hearts? That doesn't happen...anywhere without a fight...ever.
Come on guys, wake up. This is reality.
I knew. I'm trying to give prospective guys and gals an insiders view from someone who was in their shoes recently and has actually worked here, as opposed to the outside looking in/speculative view.
13 days off last month, which is easy to match or better at a regional by the way. Plenty of lines with 12 off next month.
This is reality, yes thanks for the insight. I'm trying to give people honest information, and you seem a bit defensive about it.
