The insanity of these IROPs is nuts. I have 19 years to 65. I’m only half way there. I just can’t picture working for this place that long. I think we go bankrupt before we get bought. We’re just a tier above spirit. Too toxic to trust. Personally for me its never been about money.
I often think about what it would be like to work for a carrier where when you showed up for your pairing, you just flew your pairing, on time, more or less as scheduled, every time.
And when you flew it wasn't ALWAYS battling weather up and down the east coast.
Can you guys just imagine that?
I sometimes think that could be worth taking a pay cut. I don't think it's crazy at all, especially for a commuter.
