Good or bad, the future is what it will be. Good luck.
Because pilots know better about seniority integrations than lawyers? It’s almost as if pilots can’t ever agree which is why it gets sent to binding arbitration in the first place...
Here’s a list of things someone else wrote about pieces of advice never to take from an airline pilot:

4. Relationship - she’s your soulmate. Says the guy divorced 3 times and currently has a secondary family in the Dominican Republic.
3. Financial - Oh this is self explanatory. How can someone that makes 250K plus a year have a negative net worth.... maybe see #4? Quit trying to get me to invest in your bitcoin polishing business. I’m good. And I get that on a 401K loan you’re paying yourself. However, you just took 50K out of a bull market that’s returning at least 18 percent. And paid 26% (or more) ordinary income tax on the “profit” you made in the employee stock option plan because you sold it the day you bought it.
2. Fitness - resistance training and paleo is the way to go. Dude, you’re like 300lbs and eating a meatball sub.
1. Career - you should leave here and go to........
Adding #6. SLI formula/methodology --- “This method accounts for everything and is fair for all pilots. It’s my calculator, I’m a major airline pilot for over 30 years and have studied SLIs therefore know that my calculator is far more just and fair.”
