Much appreciated!

Anyone else find it pretty disgusting to read about new hires complaining about a possible 8 month upgrade rather than 6 months (waahhhhhhh) on the FB page? For once, APC has less garbage on it.
On a similar note, I can't imagine they'll keep bypassing jet FOs for much longer. Any thoughts?

sometimes I have to pinch myself as I can't believe the position I'm in.
I haven't gone through a furlough.. every month I get some bonus.. I have been treated pretty well and I love the people I work with. Life is good right now and whiskey going to I UAL IS the best thing that ever happened to this pilot group!

4 on two off. Maybe three once a month.
Think hard about taking an early dash class if offered . 50-60 numbers is a year of flow right now.
