Honestly the place is what it is and it’s not going to change.
I recently left and move onto better things (not a lateral). Wouldn’t have been possible if I didn’t fly 2000+ hours in 2.5ish years.
The flow has value insomuch as I never sat reserve as an FO or a CA. But even with only 18 months or so to flow, I still got the hell out. I was thy sweet spot 2016 hiring window.
You just have to accept the fact the place is what it is and make the it work best for you, also no point getting riled up over stupid procedures that ultimately screw the passengers. If they’re so worried about metrics, the metrics are already speaking for themselves with Spirit getting higher ratings than AA.
