I have been flying with a lot of young FOs and too a person they don’t care about money they only care about Time off. By the time our next contract comes do the union and company will need to recognize this monumental shift in desires.
Force Upgrades, no schedule flexibility, rolled days off… a lot of those people you talk about saw those things at the trash regional they spent time at prior to arriving at United, only to see the United pilot group eager to accept the same work rules as trash regionals.
