You mean those guys? I’ve flown with quite a few of them that are now Junior to me.
Why haha? You seem like a decent dude from our previous interactions, but why? Especially that last slight in bold. That’s just disrespectful dog, and you’re flexing that weak ass zinger like you’re sweet to someone who’s probably much younger than you and going to retire a 1%’er at American.
No, I don’t mean “those guys”. I ran into one of “those guys” about 3 weeks ago on an impatiently brisk walk to a lengthy sunny layover. He’s the same senior captain flying the same senior day turns. I’ve honestly never flown with a character who kept me intrigued for the entirety of a DEN - SRQ day turn. The number of fascinating stories in that man’s repertoire was vast. I recognized him immediately and couldn’t gather myself to continue executing my brisk pace to the hotel shuttle without small talk. The same group of senior Captains are flying their day turns out of DEN, SLC, IAH, LAX, etc. They’ll ride that schedule out until retirement. That was the small talk.

That’s where I’m getting at with the “trust me bro”. It’s not directed to be condescending. I’m actually intrigued but skeptical.
No disrespect, but if I can read through your impressive number of grammatical errors, I can comprehend why “Arlas” QoL could be decent under certain circumstances, if given a detailed explanation. I’ve already received a few from others.
