But, for every guy who stays senior in the right seat there is a junior W2 hero or ego hero to replace them here. Don't forget that. We, as an airline, on average, fly a metric feces-ton of block hours per pilot.

So yes, we (on average) fly more hours for less W2 than the good companies.

And........

I haven't told our guys to leave. I have never told you, or Cool, or Joe or anyone that they should leave.

And.........

My QOL is very good, BECAUSE OF MY SENIORITY! I look at most of the new "industry leading" pairings and the schedule awards of the junior pilots and get a very strong urge to vomit immediately. That a QOL airline does NOT make. Yeah, if you stay SENIOR, it can be great. But I'm not sure if you understand that it also works that way at airlines that aren't BlueJet?

And........

Lots of guys DID bail here. Many come back and say how thankful they are to have LEFT. You reply to many of those posts. Have you already forgotten?

If you knew me personally or have been around my family and friends you would get a full-on belly laugh at the thought of me being unhappy. I have a pretty exceptional life 99% of the time.
