At least it's stable. Amerijet pilots win a big raise then fleet shrinkage and furloughs follow. 21Air pilots feel immune to this phenomenon but that hubris may prove disastrous.
Fun job, lousy career. Same as it ever was.
Oh thats what whipsaw is. Thank you Captain Obvious. Thats your definition of a lousey career? Fly widebody aircraft, retirement, 4M + in 401k, great schedules with protection. 350 ro 400k a year. ATI set the bar below ground level when they signed their last contract to keep airplanes from ABX. Their QOL items, disability, scheduling rules still suck.
