Nice to see but I wonder if it’s purely for attrition

I doubt we’ve lost 24 captains recently, but I know of 2 that left in May. Both we 2015 hires.

The LAS trips are a bunch of day turns or Redeyes for the junior crowd. There are a ton of commuters in LAS from PHX, Cali, ect so you would be competing with them. Unfortunately your 4 day dream is currently not gonna happen in LAS. However, you can back up two trips pretty easily to create a 3/4/5 day rotation that is commutable both sides but with a LAS layover in the middle.

As far as PHX trip makeup nobody has any idea that I know of. But if/when it does open it will suck a bunch of people out of Vegas and help the seniority there. That should help just in time for you to show up at LAS.

Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. How long have you been at F9 to only work 10 days a month?
