Also…all I was saying was I overate and then felt guilty, wtf..lol?

I beg to differ, Hyper has been asked to characterize his feelings on the new profit sharing plan. He has not replied and he will not. He is unwilling to publicly criticize the company in any *specific* way, so I have to assume he likes it.

So yeah as a new hire starting out I think it would be a tough call.

So you'd rather work for a company w/ sh!ttier contract?

If one company domicile was 30 minutes away and no tolls, and the other was over two hours with $40 in tolls, yes, I’d consider the worse contract.

Yes, base location is a factor. Personally, I wouldn't consider it. I've been there thinking that living closer would be great...NOT at all. I'll take the drive and tolls for a better contract.

They have 3 year upgrades in the Airbus, faster growth, faster seniority. That's the current conditions which is all you can go by.

Contracts change every 4-6 years, seniority usually lasts much longer at well funded companies. So, as a new hire, it is absolutely a viable alternative.

And.... Our contract isn't that much better dude. To really make that assertion you would need to roughly estimate the difference in the value of the contract and compare it to the additional value of faster seniority (faster upgrade into a larger better-paying fleet, better schedules, etc...) and draw your own conclusion.

It's not black and white at all. You chose to stay here even though there are 6 or so companies with better contracts than BlueJet, so yeah you literally would chose a worse contract.

Dude, what's up, dude? Don't assume you know anything about me. Being here has absolutely nothing about me choosing a worse contract. Asinine. Maybe you will understand, but you probably won't.. But hey, chase that upgrade. Who cares how sh!itty the rules are if you're a CA. You'll be making bank. Adios amigo! :p:D

I don’t know what it is, but she is really attractive to me in that video nowadays.
