This adminstration might not be in office in 2 years. And I don't think anyone will want to take on AS/VX until the dust has settled. From what I've heard this merger has been harder than expected. I can't see BT/BM wanting to go through it again with another merger.

Anyone who's serious about a big, boundary-pushing merger (in any industry) will initiate it in less than 12 months, to ensure they have the best chance at approval before any potential regime change.

I would bet on no airline merger in the next couple years. I think Alaska management has a bad taste in their mouth. I don't think BM will be the next CEO either.

WAIT... There are guys on the line that tell each other. "I have THE jet"/ "You have the THE jet?"
LMAO This is hilarious! You big jet pilots you! Not the hallway monitor, just trying to save someone the embarrassment in the future.
P.S. We need better work rules. What are we, number 7 now?

That would be an incorrect statement, since it implies that no other jets exist. “I have a jet” would be correct, but unhelpful. One must therefore say “I have this jet”, while tapping the glareshield with an index finger.

This is garbage... made $317k last year no perduim or 401k included. Have made $248k so far this year, $350-370k by the end of the year. I live in base, never less then 15 days off. Grow up! I have a couple buddies at SWA that are FO’s... they do not make anything close to me.

Doing some quick math, $248k YTD, means you have been making on avg. $35,428.57 per month. If you break that down by the month, assuming you are at the top of the scale, you are crediting 137 hours per. Yet you don’t work more than 16 days a month. Do tell how you are doing this. I’m really curious.

If it's really only available for 20 to 50 pilots system wide who hold the top few numbers in each seat and base, your own experience doesn't amount to much for the rest of us.
For numbers like that to have any relevance, the work rules need to allow a large portion of the pilot group to be able to achieve this kind of credit and days of if they choose, not just the few ultra senior.
