Wow - sounds like you guys are getting close to pulling the trigger. What's the latest, or can you not talk about it?

Regardless, good luck out there. Hope you get the contract you deserve!

I just can't afford, and will NOT go back to a regional. (Hopefully) I think I'm short on time though, shy of 3k but about 800 right sea to the -80.

You my friend are wet behind the ears! I'm guessing you fly for Falcon? The same company who flew Struck work when Spirit walked and are now flying our stuff right b4 a strike!
Read what you wrote amigo, what makes you so special?

Trust me, if I had my way, there would be ZERO resumes on their desks. Unfortunately, you have no control over other people's situations.

In this hiring environment, I can assure you that 90% of the pilots here would end up catching the "flu" if that ever happened as we all are trying to have a brighter future.
I am fairly low time, I don't feel special. Just trying to play the game and move on.

We also really do care about this place and want to see it become what it could and should be. And we try to stay anonymous. If you are trying to get on somewhere it is always just where you always wanted to work, whether it is or not.

It’s only a matter of time now. G4 management has set themselves up nicely for the takedown. Complete, open and total disregard for our elected union, labor law and work rules. All within view of the NMB. All proper preparations are in effect now. We’re different; we’re a “Travel Company “, not an airline. This G4 euphemism will come back to haunt this management team.

The NMB will have no political forces pressuring or intervening in our proffer for self-help, which is coming soon.

Be careful with accusations.
