Gotcha, I said protected. I meant being in a maintenance base may prevent.... That in and of itself may or may not be the actual thing preventing crew scheduling from junior-manning me. The schedules at my last airline are comperable to what we have here. Maybe they are horrendous to some and great to others. I guess it’s just point of view. The junior manning going on at regional airlines is partially because of all the contracts and a general shortage of pilots. I went on a bunch of interviews and never left without a conditional job offer, nor did I meet any other candidates whom were told they weren’t being hired.

Our posts sound different because I have never missed my son’s basketball games or my daughter’s swim meets. I have never been junior manned and you have. This would make anyone angry. It’s a normal reaction. If you want to call me names and refer to me as being naive, do so. If that’s what will make you feel better do it. I admit if I had been JMed as much as you, if I missed important things in life as you have, my posts might sound like yours. But I don’t sound like you now.
