Well, it's all true until the "I smell news" part... I smell no good news over the next few years. Especially for the FOs stranded at this disaster of an airline. Total of 12 upgrades this year? (FMC) F&@% my career.

The blame for career stagnation lies with the mainline contracts and their short sighted scope from many years ago.

Wrong. It's all those greedy Capts and the damn unions to blame!!

woah woah woah, no fighting! There's plenty of blame to go around! I'm looking at being an 8 year FO. I think I'll break down the blame like this:

50% ASA Mgt
30% ALPA
19% Majors (whipsaw/contracts, etc...)
1% Me for choosing this company

It is human nature to be self sighted, but this industry is, and always has been extremely cyclical. The last classes hired at the majors in the 60's sat on the panel of 727's for a decade. UA, AA, DL...just now finishing up last furlough recall... Have you talked to anyone at US Air that was hired in the 80's or 90's.... Miserable.... Braniff, Eastern, TWA, Pan Am, Comair, World.... Get over yourselves... this career is a crap shoot... period... and if your "6000+" hours in your chosen field are "worthless".... that's your fault.

anybody else notice the AE 700 on the homepage today. Either an intern screwed up and doesn't know a 200 from a 700 or something else might be going on. I hope we don't take these planes.

I also saw that, looks like they just fixed it to one of our 200's

That's what the 6 upgrades are for... getting 16 CR7s in September. [/cynicism]

Are you one of those people that do the whole my generation is so much better then your "entitlement" generation...? I laugh so hard when i hear you fools. Mind you, while your generation is bankrupting the country, selling bad loans that force us into a terrible recession, and generally only caring about yourselves, you tell us that we should be happy for the ****ed up hand we have been dealt. Yet the generation before us, likely "your generation", screwed the **** out of my generation and the upcoming ones. I'm sorry we have to pay off all of the debts your generation took. I'm sorry we got screwed by the economic collapse your generation created. I'm sorry my friends have been getting shot at in the wars your generation created. I'm sorry your generation created the hell known as the regional airlines. I'm truly sorry for all of it.

That would actually be 31% you then.
