Derek,
Good luck with your career path. If you do end up in Houston, I have a request. Wear your Alpa pin proudly on your tie, stay informed, vote, and attend a council meeting from time to time. We still have a certain group of f/o’s who are still butt hurt from their “perceived” injustice on the seniority list after the merger and refuse to wear their Alpa pins. We need to get everyone pulling on the same end of the rope during contract negotiations. Houston seems to be the only place with this culture problem. Don’t let these guys rub off on ya.
