My advice is to look elsewhere. Managment has once again shown how they truly feel about us.

The why come here? QOL is crap for DECs. Unless you live in base, and don't mind sitting standby at the airport day after day.
Year 2 captain pay is 68.33

I'm sure he is, but in the meantime if he gets a couple hundred hours recent PIC under his belt and a fresh long term, he's a lot more likely to get those calls.
