Street captains are being awarded at UAL so obviously it’s the same dynamic there. The last 20 years these trips have been flown by the most junior pilots on reserve at AS. I just hear a lot of hopes and dreams when it comes to PBS. The average line value was 87 hours for SEA pilots in August, this year. There were a lot of red eyes. Next year will be exactly the same. I’m not the one with unrealistic expectations and I’ll bid accordingly.
