This current DOJ might be out in 1 year anyways, so a new administration might not have the same roadblocks up. And then there is always F9 and Franke...
One thing I know is bottom of any seniorty list is not where I want to be. We all know this industry is up/down, wash rinse and repeat; I worry about what I can control and thats about it. If anyone thinks pilot pay is going to just go up and up, without and reversal, they have not been paying attention the last 40+ years. This career has always been the illusion of stability with the present reality of how cruel it can be to some; personally I wish I would have taken a different career path 20 years ago, but it is what it is. I control what I can and thats about it
Frontier- That’s all that’s left and would be the worst possible outcome.
Pay doesn’t always go up and up, that’s true. But when the back slide happens it helps to be at or near the top of the pay amongst the other airlines. Yes you may fall further but ultimately you’ll still end up higher than the Frontiers and allegiants of the world which is where we are headed imo if this doesn’t go through.
