Touche'. That thing is uglier than sin. I keep looking for the flight engineer who is supposed to run that thing when I look behind me.

Exactly...not sure where you are going with that.
Most guys I know who bailed have left for
1. Base locations
2. Seniority progression
3. Pay/benefits
4. Ability to fly widebody intl
I don’t hold any sort of grudge for guys leaving. More power to them. I highly considered it at one time. This hiring environment should be celebrated, not viewed with some sort of contempt for those who choose to better their situation.

You’d be a better fit at flightinfo
