The pool that's going to be joining majors the next couple years is watching, and they're watching closely. People notice when the prettiest girl in class last week isn't looking so hot the next. Austin is a perfect example of why we need the strongest FO's in the industry. Hopefully the company will realize that sooner rather than later for all of our sakes.
Agreed. I did want to through something out to the crowd however. What if there isn't an exodus from that 60+ crowd? Just playing devil's advocate. Top of the payscale, 5 weeks of vacation, while still socking money away the last 3-5 years. Hell you could argue they could be full time pilots working part time.
