Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

I did...
I will trade anyone my seniority at this place for my 4 years of life back.
Today I got an email saying not to expect catering out of Boston
No clear growth plan
Seniority absolutely stagnant (upgrades are a joke)
No retirements
No clear direction
Constant management shuffle
Tons of middlemanagement
Low morale
Shady leadership
Low expectations from management
Constantly asked and begged to work on days off
Pilot pushing
Don’t believe me...LOL
This is what I saw and read directly from company literature in the month of May!
Come here with your eyes wide open. Welcome to the Thunderdome. Two pilots enter...hopefully one smart one will leave. I have not been smart. All my friends have left.

We may or may not get a CBA soon, but I wish I had left.

And gone where?? I think a majority of the pilots here would have moved on at this point IF they could have.

Why would you say something like that?
He's a normal guy reacting normally to extraordinary circumstances.
What's your way? Learning to love your captivity? Stockholm syndrome?
At least he's being accurate and not some pathetic juicer, apologist, defeatist, low-rent regional pilot.

I think this company has done some stupid stuff. I’m not thrilled with the AIP progress, either. I always wear my lanyard and fly SOP. Be ****ed at the company all you want (I am).
Don’t attack people who are doing what’s best for their family. Insinuating we aren’t getting the best and brightest, isn’t cool. Hell, we are both here, so are we both just plain stupid? Probably. If you feel that you can attack others, for their career choices maybe you should ask yourself why you are still here.

As a junior 190 CA I am in a much better position than you to judge the quality of our new pilots as I fly with many of them. Your comment above is not backed up by anything I’ve seen on the line.
I don’t disagree with much of what the OP said. I’m commenting purely on Coopervane’s post.
