Looking forward to the announcement that 5 more of the all-important Protected Pilots will be flowing per month... in exchange for voiding the flow-through agreement for all other pilots, who will get a sweet guaranteed interview opportunity instead.
To say the very least. You have no idea what the PPs have been through. A bankruptcy, $25/hr starting pay, 2 concessionary contracts, having planes sent away to other carriers, threat of shutting the airline down and being on the street without a job, 8 year upgrade, endless rsv, no commuter hotels, etc....Some of you entitled new guys that think they're owed the world aren't going to get a lot of sympathy. Not that I think taking the flow away for post-PPs is okay, and frankly it's not even close to being something of reality. And you do realize that even if something happened and only the PPs got more flow, that translates to quicker flow for everyone downstream.
