I dunno that I’d say BTL is “falling apart”. With a lack of new hires, the best part of BTL- new hire mentorship and experience sharing- has mostly been non-existent. So now you have the same dozen or so people posting/*****ing constantly about the same BS over and over.

One of my last trips the guy asked me to buy him coffee. Lmao.

I managed to land on my feet with a job offer a month and a half later. But I know not everyone was as fortunate. Rough times.

Man, I’m so sorry about that. I flew with quite a few men and women who were about to be furloughed, and I felt horrible for them. They were ALL really good pilots and an absolute pleasure to be around. I was amazed at their positive attitude in the face of huge uncertainty facing them.

I’m sorry you had to fly with ANYBODY who told you those things. Yes, I was furloughed myself many years ago, and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

Have you seen the weather in DFW?

SWA CANCELS 1800 flights cancelled due to weather? You are dumb enough not to believe it.

They showed no increase in sick calls and a slight uptick in people actually picking up trips, so yeah, I think people who rely on data rather than blindly supporting conspiracy theories or made up narratives dismiss the “great sick out” as a myth. Feel free to enjoy your stories though.

Should we ever fly together, I'll buy you every single beer (and I'll make sure you finish your awesome crew meal before we land! "Finish your plate son! There's still some cheese left!" )

Welcome back.
