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

Make that offer a target and use it for practice at Nellis:



Then feel free to bomb similar lame proposals.

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...



Except this is the marriage we're in...



It's about time we put the pants back on in this relationship, and get a scope clause...
