But, he didn't do it for the money though...

We can talk about inaccuracy in nearly every single thing you post about me. But it’s fun to see people here complaining about those getting sub 5 year upgrades when I did not in fact upgrade under 5 years. Very few did and they are all about to get pushed back into the right seat

Ya’ll were saying how much of a risk it was to leave Alaska when Goodjet upgraded and I was slightly senior to him. Sure we push the same buttons, complain about the crew meals or being short staffed but there is nothing remotely close about how our two jobs have looked the last 4 ish years.

I don’t recall saying that about you. He just complains endlessly about everything. I don’t see the point of bring so miserable.

Hired 2018. Upgrade sims in 2023. Sounds like 5 years.

You just said your jobs are the exact same, yet completely different, in the same sentence?

I have buddies hired at Delta around the same time I was hired here. We all have similar gripes. We all think the job is great.🤷‍♂️ Cruz was also here under the old contract so he really has no idea what he’s talking about.

One has had seniority progression and the other hasn’t. It’s important to keep in mind Cuz is doing far better than I seniority wise after giving up over 3 years of seniority. It’s not hard to understand unless you’re being intentionally obtuse.

Another poster was talking about sub 5 year upgrades at Alaska. There were a few and I was not one of them. Likely at the end of the next bid there will not be any since they will all have been involuntarily downgraded.

Everyone everywhere got a meteoric rise in seniority in the 2 years post covid. Yes even here. We were headed for sub-4 year upgrades and then Boeing **** the bed. Such is life with a single fleet type. Cruz got this at Delta so of course things seem better.
