Very true, we are on track for 4000+ pilots by 2020

I personally feel we will be better off merging with a larger airline. I think the junior guys want it and the more senior guys don't.

Hb, At this point, Id take any one of the legacies buying us and stapling us- Being a junior reserve at AA/UAL or DAL is still better qol than being a line holding FO with holidays off here at jetblew.
This place is getting worse. I appreciate the optimism of the apologists here, but let's add some reality.
Even if a TA comes sometime before the E2s or LRs/350s,:rolleyes:, they wont have near enough staffing to cover any real reserve or work rules.
Now, who owes me 100 in the bf fund by January 1st? ;)

Did you fly the line this summer? If so you know this management team has no direction for the company besides down. I've been pretty optimistic since I've been here but it's gotten to a whole new level. I enjoy working here I'm just not sure it'll be around the way it's going.

Only problem is the company is more profitable than ever. We may not like the way it has been going but the accountants seem to be happy.

UA, DL and WN were all north of 60%

Most of them will leave anyway as those other airlines are hiring, so it won't really matter.

I can only imagine what was said to the pilot back in 1982 that interviewed and got hired at both SWA and Eastern....and took the SWA job. Good thing he was nit listening to his buddies?!
