I agree, since I believe being authentic is primarily about bases, pay, benefits. The other stuff is nice, but not been what I’ve seen as the primary driver for coming here. As for my connection to United, would a 27 year senior Captain here be enough to form an educated opinion? I don’t think I’m revealing any secrets here. Like I said, play the game, but most people want to make a nice living, not commute to work, have a solid retirement. To be full of pride as a 777 taxis by in your home town is nice, but not why most of us get in this business. Again, my opinion only, and worth exactly what you paid for it!
