Thank you, zen master for the lessons in tranquility, but this is the period for discourse, & one need not be “obsessed” to engage in an active debate on the merits of the TA. I suppose I could criticize everyone promoting it by saying, “you know it’s gonna pass so just be quiet & let it happen”; but I’m in favor of a robust dialogue. When the voting concludes, it will be time to move forward- so let’s keep the horse & cart in that order.

& I didn’t say the status quo for pilot staffing would never change (though that’s an imaginative extreme to take it to) or that no one will ever get a base transfer again. I was specifically addressing the straw man comment that this whole thing was about preserving QOL for new hires, & simply pointing out how it affects other seniority ranges as well. I guess I don’t see why that is so incendiary to some here.
