Yeah I’d switch that. Sounds boring and almost sarcastic with a touch of condescending given the circumstances.

“Hey thanks for paying hundreds to ride in a shotty Golden Touch bus to get out to some remote gate, and get drenched in the rain while shattering your ear drums waiting to get onto our small, old, and dirty 50 seater. Don’t worry, when you finally do get to your seat, you’ll have zero space for anything. Don’t mind our 8 hour taxi to the runway. If you do manage to fall asleep, you’re in luck, our finest ex-waffle house hoochy will be sure to bang your elbows as she tries to stuff herself down the aisle launching glutten free pretzels and room temp water at you. But hey, sit back relax and enjoy the 47 minute flight to Norfolk!”

ok you got me on that one. lol. my fave is when the back one calls up asking something dumb or hangs up cause she still can't figure out the four buttons on the intercom after being on the line for two years.

I've got an invitation for an initial phone interview. What should I expect to be asked, anything I need to study?

The Microwave Mafia strikes again!!!

The majority of pilots will and have done better on the 900, because the majority of pilots at this company are not now, nor will they ever be senior. those are the facts, and they are not in dispute.

Read a union communication every once in a while. Besides that, a mass exodus is happening on the 200 for pilots junior to you, you think that's vanity, or perhaps are you thinking back to how remarkably detached you are and realizing "you know someone explained this to me once and i was waiting for my turn to say 'well ive got 17 off' instead of listening to facts being relayed and now I'm realizing I should listen instead of assuming i already know everything.

The 200 does blow, but not nearly as much as commuting.... Food for thought.
