I’ve seen some of this on the widget pages recently as well. What started as no involuntary ALV cuts is starting to turn into no deals period, and I truly don’t understand it. I completely understand why folks don’t want an involuntary ALV cut imposed upon them. I don’t understand why anyone would take issues with an LOA containing strictly voluntary measures? If they don’t like the voluntary options then they need not apply (just like VEOP). I’m not sure what’s to be gained by opposing a voluntary measures LOA... I’m hoping it sails through the MEC this week.

To me, none. another poster asked, I researched and found the answer. Ask them (Leroy Jenkins) why it matters

I agree; I have no clue why someone would be against something that is 100% voluntary and will also help some other pilots. On another note the FB group is turning into CC, which is a total dumpster fire.

Fun fact about millennials. Most are in their mid to late 30s, are parents, have been on the receiving end of two recessions, and have been the ones fighting in our wars of the 2000s. I'd say they suffer plenty. Maybe not so entitled after all no?
PS: I'm not a millennial.

Holy crap I thought this forum was bad but someone told me to go check out chit chat and those have to be the most toxic people in this company. Idk how people can live their life like that.

The sad thing is that CC was the same even when we were going through the best of times. If you couldn’t be relatively happy then, what would you expect now?

From the best I can tell, many in the boomer generation (b1946-1965) were hired at a major around the time they were 30, that is simply not true anymore
Often when flying with senior guys on the ER (good Eurotrips pre covid) they'd figure out i was 40ish, and be amazed i was a new hire.

Mid to late 30s is a normal new hire, 50 isn't unheard of.

Wheni told them my age (40 at the time) and that I didn't retire from the military their minds were blown.

Yes, I was hired at 29 and on the ER at 31, furloughed at 32.
