Is this true? I don’t understand how it could be true when looking at my category. The staffing is horrendous right now, most days end with 0 reserves. This summer will be a green slip all you can fly fest in my category.

I quote " If I had known they'd be so ungrateful for my sacrifice, I would've voted to furlough all of them during Covid".

My response: "......well, altimeter is 30.01....would you like a descent check?"

For the record, I am well aware that the vast majority of guys I have flown with have been solid dudes, but the few angry ones are loud. I wanna learn from them and be better but it's hard to look up to someone blaming me for things I wasn't even around for when they happened.

That's what my ALPA app shows when I look at my category and overall company seniority. I don't think they would have any incentive to manipulate numbers to show better staffing since being short staffed is technically leverage on our side.

It is Karma. CC folks sent out an APB. Apparently, you are missed over there.

It’s a typical boomer sob story. We are all having to deal with it at the moment.

Your DC will still be 18% higher back to Jan 1

Edit, was beat to it, I need to pay attention to what page I’m on. And before someone talks about % and DOS +1, more $$ going in is more $$
