If you’re unhappy being an LCA (seriously I get it, the job is difficult and task saturating) then leave. Either go to AA, UA the cargos or just go back to the line as a Captain. You’ve got plenty of options If you out a little bit of effort in to getting out and LCA will counterbalance negatives in your application.

I told them I wanted to be a part of a team like that, that can inspire and build people up. 5 minutes later they sent me walking down Virginia ave early.
Sentiment, work ethic, attitude, means nothing to that company when they see Endeavor on the app. They’re hiring any and everyone except you. We’re in the biggest hiring wave in history and there was no way in hell I was sticking around to add to profit sharing I don’t see, for a company that doesn’t want me, to lose 30 spots seniority a week for multiple years. Every month you stay is another 100 spots at another great company.
