I want to cash in my SWAG points for RR points and buy the family airline tickets for vacation to save some $$.

Can't fly on SW if I use personal time off.

What's with the lack of COVID vaccine discussions in this thread?

I'm just happy that there's a thread where pilots seem to be able to achieve civil discourse.

Those Covid threads are the worst. Nobody is changing anybody else's mind, and everyone is awful to each other.

Kudos for planing on attending the informational pickets, see you there.

Let’s hope they remember when SWAPA sends the next industry lagging contract our way.

(SEA and SLC particularly)

Yeah, live in Denver. SLC would be a close 2nd. No thanks on SEA, PDX, or anything in CA....nice places to visit, but the politics and cost of living are deal breakers.

If I didn't get hired here, I'd be commuting or working at UAL/F9 and rolling the dice that the company still exists at age 65.

Same. Had same deal this summer....hustled and got a summer week off for a AK cruise. Cancelled. Now I gotta finagle that again....or bid around and take LNP or call off and buy tickets on someone else.
