Oh no, you are suppose to shed a tear and back up his overly stated and inflated comments. The poor guy held a captain seat at 95-100% and had to wait on training until after senior people trained. Don’t provide facts.
He sounds like one of those millennials who wants everything and wants it now!!! To heck with seniority as compared to available slots.

numerous of those guys are on new hire jr activation pay or SDP (WB pay) while still enjoying seniority in NB. Best of both worlds. I know many in that position and loving it.

I was in that position a few years ago. When I complained to the union, I was told I wasn’t missing out on anything because I was on Passover pay. I explained the loss of per diem, intl override and QOL. They stood by their view.
