Received an email Thursday saying my application is being reviewed. Seemed like it was automated but couldn’t really tell.

...Until you realized that you might actually have to work here?

They know, they applied after all. I don’t get how it’s worth living with this much negativity. Sadly, the negativity in this thread seems to be mostly ex-VX.

It is sad, it’s embarrassing, and it really displays the character of these individuals.

I am excited for all those that applied, I remember that feeling myself, we all worked really hard to get to that point. This isn’t a perfect job, but no job is. If you are willing to live in one of the bases though, I am confident you will have an incredible career here. I am also confident that a new contract is coming, it won’t fix everything for everyone, but for most it will only provide a better career, a better quality of life, and job security!

What's really sad and embarrassing is our contract.

I won’t argue it needs some freshening up, but this garbage (“worse then a regional”) contract has paid me $2,464,XXX.XX in the last 6.5 years. That doesn’t include 401k, A-plan. Think your friends at any regional or in a different line of work might struggle to find your line of reasoning.

What’s most saddening is these few “yes” voters we have to listen to. Blaming ex VXers and all that BS ! Thank god we inherited about 800 hardened airline vets that have been thru many contracts, furloughs, acquisitions, bankruptcies etc etc etc......

“800 hardened airline vets that have been thru many contracts, furloughs, acquisitions, and bankruptcies” 🤔

Best guess but in the group of 650 VX OG’s, think there is probably 75-100 that kinda resemble a few of those descriptions, but the US, Midwest, Aloha, ATA crowd also ran to the lowest paying non-union NB job in the US🤔🤔🤔.
The rest of the VX group are just a bunch of X-regional pilots. Talk about sad, and clueless, you just spout out emotional hyperbole and garbage pretending some stance of moral high ground and elitism. Dude, I voted “NO” both times I was given a vote.

Angry, bitter, whinny, unhappy, and hardened… Yup, that’s the group I want hang with, really? Sounds like an incredible life, sign me up!
