Anyone that is feeling left out about not receiving 401k day one at AA, could have also chosen to have worked at a WO to take advantage of the 401k at day 1 of AA, perk. OTS have their own perks they’ve enjoyed, WO flows have theirs as well. I suggest not wasting energy on trying to “correct” this perceived inequity that was (almost) literally within everyone’s control when they chose their regional to work for. Life ain’t fair sometimes.

Yet they were given a guaranteed flow to AA while many of their peers are stuck in the Regional world. Plus pilots at WOs were given insane bonuses that their Regional peers never saw. Let's not try painting a false narrative here that WO pilots somehow suffered more than their peers lol
