Folks who upgraded at the earliest opportunity have had a much different life. Apparently taking JL's berating via e-mail to heart wasn't the best plan.
Every over 60 pilot that benefited from the "excess from the backseat" will rate management a 10.
Those who got a swift kick in the jimmies during 4A2b will probably choose a different number.
Not sure about 777 guys. They were living large during 4A2b but got routed on the pay rate.

Unfortunately, the can was faster than he was. Fortunately he wasn't seriously injured or killed. Suddenly, someone at a desk in MEM decided that all engine taxi on a sloping (possibly rain or snow covered...) ramp wasn't such a bad idea after all. Penny-wise, pound and reality foolish.

I remember the ANC Ramper incident - happened right after I J/S'ed thru there coming back from HKG back in October. The prohibition from E/O taxi came from the ANC Chief Pilot, not a powerpoint ranger in AOD...
