Also, PREF pass doesn't do crap at all, most guys don't know how it works. Pass pref only works with short call, and its really only good one day a month - the first day of the bid period, when everyone is at ZERO credit. Otherwise, the chances of having multiple guys in the same availability bucket, same RAP time, AND same credit is next to impossible.

"A lot of these guys dealt with the industry after 9/11. 08 recession and lost decade. Years upon years of making terrible money with crap rules and contracts hoping one major would call. Right now it's the opposite for people getting in."
Well said.
You had to live through it to really understand the limitions which came with it.

yep. We basically aren’t losing any captains at all except to retirement.
looking at the attrition list for 2023 there are only 3 pre 2019 hires that have left that haven’t been retirements.
