I'm truly devastated that you'll never fly on an aircraft piloted by myself. It is with deep and sorrowful regret...you need to understand something sir, these pilots are not my family. My family is my family and these pilots are causing a true ****** show. I don't care about them one bit beyond making sure they don't kill me during a four day. I do appreciate the boy/girl and him/her. Very PC of you.

Similar backstory, only one difference. Every ASA pilot (CA or FO) that I've met in the hotel van or bar has been, lets be nice and say, unpleasant.
Endeavors...haha clever
Welcome to the Forum my friend
Hmmm '07 hire FO, so that means you started a business or got another job and XJT is your "out of the house" gig to stay current. Your in a different position than I am. Not everyone is being treated so well. Ill make you a deal, Ill take a good hard look from your side if you put yourself in my shoes for a day. And my friend, Ive left the cockpit a handful of times before for fear of creating an unsafe work environment with my crew and Ive never been reprimanded. The FAA would say the same.
If anything I'm perfect for this industry...to quote a recent Legacy United jumpseater..."Those Continental mother******ers can suck my c**k. Some United guys lost ten ****ing years seniority after the merger"...similarities my friend?
Don't see me getting terminated for not wanting to fly under unsafe conditions. If anything I would be praised. Not safe to fly with someone you don't get along with or trust. That wall goes up and the risk follows. Ive done it before and Im still here.
Finally, I enjoy how no one had a problem with my original post except the not flying with an ASA guy part. I only assume you all agreed with the rest as it was sincere and true.
Fly safe gentlemen/women

(In all fairness, you do have some valid points embedded in your misguided post. I didn’t hear of anybody losing 1000 numbers. I lost about 750, but those numbers aren’t even real. You don’t know what’s going to happen until it’s all over. The company keeps publishing lists, and your number is the original number.)
Besides..........haven’t you heard........United just bought us.
Man, the rumor that just won't die.
And yeah, changing by a number does not mean squat. What matters is your relative seniority. Some go up, some go down. I fell back as well... but moved up a few %.
Of course, as written above, wait for the dust to settle. I may not move up any. I may move up more. Right now the LASA side is losing over 100 pilots/month. While that may sound good, it isn't. That means we probably won't be able to staff the ERJ flying promised by UAL.
UAL really needs to get their crap together and figure out what they want to do with their regionals. They're going to wake up one day and find all the ERJ's parked with no pilots to man them.
