So in 3 years I can make $10K more than now and that temporary contract will last 60% the life of a real one?

Naive IMO to think they'll backfill into MD88/90 instead of going somewhere completely different. Even if you are flying the DC9 it's still a full initial to go to the -88

I don't want to have to depend on other jobs/income like writing books. In fact, I shouldn't HAVE TO. Unfortunately, I do. Honestly, I don't know how other LA-based FOs get by out here. If you're on RES, its day-to-day.

They said in indoc that "they" view the relationship with our union like that of a marriage. So constructive engagement is really viewed like a marriage...
