I thought his entire rant was hilarious. I get 5 weeks/yr off, no complaints about my medical insurance, and get paid sick time (albeit only 5hrs/mo, but it's still enough that I'm able to bank some in case of a long term medical condition), plus I have LTD.
As far as the seniority system, I prefer it over rostering like they have in a lot of foreign airlines because that system favors buttkissers. I consider that system much more skewed to favor management.
As far as Egg320's future, reading his past posts, it sounds like he can't get hired anywhere past SkyWest. I'd bet that he's got an app in with Norwegian.
On the 787s out of KFLL, Norwegian is running out of ways to raise cash. Pretty soon, there should be some slightly used 787s on the open market - I'd expect those KFLL jobs to vaporize in the not too distant future.
