Great Job! I was laughing the whole time reading this! Only also because it's true!

If we ever agree to PBS, this will be gone.

Are you in denial? There’s 200 pilots in the pool and hasn’t been a class in a month with none announced in the future. You can argue semantics but currently FedEx has stopped hiring.

I believe he was saying that our vacation isn’t related to pilot hiring.

That’s why we can never agree to it. When one of the chief pilots was saying how great it would be I simply replied, “When VTOs go to the top 10% in every seat I’ll listen to your argument but will still vote no.”
