The seniority list just keeps on shrinking, I moved another 15 numbers up for July. 604 pilots have left the list since Sept 2010.

What if I was pushed the first time?

first of all, don't call in sick unless youre sick. are you sick if you get hit by a car? no. you're injured, which is not the same as being sick.

don't be a thief.

What if I was going home because I was sick, then I was hit on my way to my car? Would I call in well once my illness was gone? Even if I was still in a cast?

Moving up a few numbers on the list is meaningless without hiring underneath to change your percentage. I know you know this but I just felt like voicing my current displeasure about the lack of hiring.

I thought I heard RA say in one of his weekly addresses that we'll own them after 7 years.

Elvis, you might be right, I've heard 5 and 7, the 5 coming from a 4th floor type.
