Next day he was told to get the hell off the beach and find a crash pad. Good times.

Better the beach than a certain captain that took up residency in the FAT crew lounge for months on end. They'd say "If I had a nickel for every time I've heard 'Oh, you're still here in the lounge?' I could afford a crashpad." That didn't go over well with the FO's who were on first-year pay qualifying for state assistance.

I voted NO and have the badge to prove it. Throwing cash at a problem & pretending to fix it isn’t the answer. Fix it. QOL. Fix it. And domino info is better than W Amcnd info. At least it’s based on reality, as opposed to hope and unicorn dreams spun from the council webs.

I enjoy dominos posts, ya gotta come onto these forums knowing there will be trolls, but ya also need to learn to differentiate when they are talking some legitimate talk. I enjoy a good laugh at his posts but what he’s saying makes sense. Why on earth would you vote on a contract that’s got like no QOL improvement and you know the next TA will be better, they can’t afford to give us a sub par contract because the attrition will continue for quite some time, and when the market collapses eventually at some point in the future wouldn’t you rather have some extra bargaining chips on our side?
