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!

So SFO Boeing base. Not gonna lie, I thought SF was done. This is great news. Prolonged Buses in fleet over 2023, 2024 means reductions spread out over years, with more growth = reduced involuntary amounts of reductions to other bases.
Cautiously optimistic about this news.

I sure hope so. I’m still hoping for a call from United. I imagine even with a 3.5 year loss of seniority the upgrade would still be faster at SFO if I leave for UA.

Shocking……
