I'm guessing you werent here when we had less than 1,500 pilots and only two bases. With rumors of further shrinking to just one base. That happened almost overnight from being a large regional.
Some people also said that "no way" Eagle would shrink like that, but it did, and it was so miserable that junior manning was being abused by the company, and you had to make sure they paid you for it.
And, most importantly, the company was violating the flow for a few years, and holding people back from rightfully flowing.
