Just a little something to write your NAC about.

Sure the hourly rate on the 190 sucks, and most of the F/O's on it can't wait to get off, but it opens up some options that wouldn't exist without it: The chance to be a block holder very quickly and have good QOL, and also the opportunity to upgrade quickly. It's kind of like being at a commuter airline 10-15 years ago, only you have a seniority number at the biggest airline in the world with all the opportunity that brings.

"Actually, the old US Airways 767-200s will be the first to go. They actually anticipate keeping them flying through the summer of 2015 for one reason – it allows them to accelerate the work being done upgrading the 767-300s. But after summer 2015, those airplanes will finally become beer cans."

Amen to all! Takeoffs and landings are fun. The rest is pretty damn boring. Layover in Buffalo or Paris, I couldn't care less. When do I get HOME.
