Or even a junior captain. If you don't live in base at this company, b-a-i-l.
I don't think it's bad yet, I actually believe them when they say "we're not Spirit," but... don't commute for this company.
I didn't even realize that was a thing... sorry man. Do you get a friggen upgrade dinner at Outback every time?

I'm honestly curious to see what it looks like. 2021/2022 were crazy hiring for the big 3, but that's basically stopped. There's a slowdown and getting hired at Delta and being a WB captain in 6 months is over. There's also actual competition out there again, so I'm wondering if we'll see more experienced/senior guys leave while the 1500hr guys are stuck.

Ha! I've had a couple dinners, and plenty of epaulets. Yeah, I must be in that seniority bucket that get the shaft. it started in 2019 with the LGB closure and hasnt stopped.

I dont trust management, but I do trust JW. I've gotten the chance to meet him and converse with him and I believe hes on our side. In my seat, I'm theoretically a junior CA even with 9 years here. I will not, and have not been trying to leave. This too shall pass, but man, its been a rough run. Unfortunately, the attrition will be mostly off the bottom.

I'm glad you guys like him, but of all the things he told me down at OSC in the past couple years, not only has none of it happened, but frequently the opposite has happened. Between that and this disaster of a bid cycle his department's responsible for, whether or not he personally has anything to do with it, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him, and I could probably throw him all the way across the front yard.

He's very much management, but hasn't forgotten his place on the pilot seniority list. At the end of the day, he does have to answer to WC and above, but he seems to have more rope than the previous VP under Robins leadership.
