You aren’t doing much to soften my approach to your type.

Quitting a regional with over a year sunk into the seniority list and a permanent bullet point on your resume is a much bigger decision than going to the right regional in the first place. You know this, and yet you still suggest others get off your seniority list so your 1.5 mos of reserve on the 175 can go down to a week or whatever. Guess what dude, not everyone lives with their parents. Some of us want the industry-leading pay we were promised, and some of us need it.

People do read these posts. In a pilot group of just over 2000, this thread has 142k views. I’ve had people repeat stuff I posted months ago to my face in person. Is it the best way to reach out to the dummies showing up to class? Maybe not, but it’s free and relatively anonymous and does have some impact.

I really want to be your friend but your tone-deaf characterizations of everything we say as “whining by older pilots” just makes me want to upgrade and write you up for your Cut Above shirts.
