Thanks man. Everyone I've talked to is trying something other than a lateral move, though that may be the only option soon and most FO's have already done this. In my case some ULCC's aren't an option. What a mess.

Ohhh, I cannot Wait to see this epic failure in March. As far as getting pulled out of recurrent to fly and having chief pilots call me on a day off with "a question"...been there. Too bad it was after lunch and I start hitting bottle at noon to take the edge off. This place is pathetic

Anyone remember when CS were issued random cell phones to trick you into answering?

In the words of GW, you have to see all the positive things going on, like our TYS virtual base. High fives all around, job well done. Everything is just peachy. Oh and our soft time and work rules equate to Endeavor's contract, so no raises needed for XJT.
