I switched careers to come to this for the very fact the time to majors was supposed to come way down.
Anyway, I appreciate that you stuck it out, I wouldn’t have that’s for sure, but please don’t project your frustration for having to do it on those that are fighting for the betterment of all the pilots.
Remember it’s also the low time guys, older guys switching careers and the people that didn’t slug it out through the crap that are pushing you up and out of here.
Much respect all around and hopefully this isn’t taken personally.
There is one group that is harmed by these LOAs. The pilots that are about 700-950 that don't want to upgrade out of base. Everyone else it's a win all around. More CAs on the list means more FOs flying to build time. More CAs on the list means other CAs relative seniority increases and more lines to choose from. More flow NOW benefits everyone that intends to flow.
