This is among the worst things I’ve ever read on the internet.

Not saying all flows are bad, but some of the biggest weirdos I've flown with have been flows.

Pilots who actually accept the flow they are offered tend to end up with a lot more seniority than those who don’t.

By now you could be a captain with decent seniority in most NB categories and enjoy greater QOL, stability, and earnings. But who’s counting.
