Had a fairly new FO ask why so many of us were so jaded and butt hurt about Kasher. She had no idea we threw guys out on the street for a few years and that their years of furlough didn't count as years of service when the VX (who I hated at first but grew to like the changes they help transpire) crews were integrated in the seniority list. How after the company got the windfall still wanted to take more. 10 years to upgrade and Union officers going to management bla bla bla.

I really hope the grass that we are all feeding on gets greener not only for everybody's sake but also mine. As a B plan participant I don't regret my choice. Funny how 24 years ago some of my outspoken fellow new guys just hated the senior folks...........now those senior pilots are in the I got mine crowd. I've only got 10 years to go and the more hate I hear from the junior folks kinda sways me to go all in for the "I got mine crowd." I admit it I voted yes on one of those contracts and really regretted it later.

Maybe I misinterpreted your post but I am old and cranky and have sh*tty grammar to boot. But I just had to vent.
Ill be gone in a decade but hope y'all junior guys get minimal stagnation in the creep up the line. Nothing like getting done with IOE then the next day was 9/11. I just try to respect whoever is above and below me.

Anyways gotta love PBS! Lots of open time in ANC to switch and move stuff! Kidding! I actually like PBS.
