Those that live in base and work the system are doing very well. They have no plans on giving up seniority to “upgrade” into equal or even less pay. I do like the culture of watching out for the half wingers, but there isn’t a requirement or expectation to go beyond that. Owing beers when caught making mistakes is a hard rule though. I seem to buy a bunch of beer for a guy that doesn’t drink.
