Well just go ahead and say no drinking on overnights. This 4 day trip I’m on has 3,12 hour overnights.

Expecting 65 Captain bids a month just on the guppy for the foreseeable future, not including backfills form 18 wide bodies being delivered by June. So come back in 6 months and there will be 6 year pilots holding Captain in DEN, the most senior base by far.

Again I don’t think it was driven by Kirby. I get why you all hate on him but Iv seen nothing but good since he has been at UA.
