I’ll take anything I can get at this point. You guys have been through it before and I want to be a sponge and try to soak up as much knowledge as I can.

Family first.
Know the contract.
Don’t make a lateral move.
Be a pro.
Don’t cross a picket line.
Look long term and plan accordingly.
The company sees you as a number.
Don’t fly sick.
Bid for what you want every time. You might get it.
Be ready for your plans to change.
Start to build a rainy day/furlough fund.
If you are thinking of a change, ask yourself if it will help achieve your long term goals. Does it help your resume?

Develop your hand flying skills early and keep then sharp
Learn the manuals at your airline and stay sharp and up to date
Don't waste flights by cruising and being comfortable, keep challenging yourself, keep asking questions of your captains, use every flight to prepare for upgrade
Take CQ events seriously and prepare like its a type ride
Focus on the flight time first- don't get too distracted with extra curriculars early on. Hit the main benchmarks asap (1000 sic - upgrade - 1000 pic)
As much as you can, be nice and respectful to everyone, don't get caught up in gossip & drama, support your coworkers as best you can- when conflict does happen, deal with it in a way you'll be proud to recall in an interview later
*Probably just expanding on a6td's "be a pro" above
I'll add this one thing.. over time you may see people go off to the Majors before you who came after you or maybe people that were a real "joy' to fly with and it irks you to see them move on to your #1 or whatever, but keep a good attitude. Be happy for everyone who moves on whether junior or senior to you. If you let yourself become cynical you will become the person you would have never wanted to fly with and you will take it to your interviews and hold yourself back even more.

We all know the hiring numbers coming up for next year, but now the question is how many applications are at hand. Years ago I heard people say “the major airlines have 10,000 apps on file!”
What’s the predictions for how many apps are on file to start 2022?

Also it's always mostly the same 10K on file at all of the top-tier. So 10K total to go around, not 10K each.
