Settle down Capn Happy, I wrote it in jest hence the "

Oh my God, look how junior DAL is!!!! I guess you have to be pretty young to do all those corporate cheers and cartwheels while singing the "Ode to Herb."

If you're dying for that 4th stripe for other reasons i.e. you gotta be the one running the show, then hit up American and run to E-190. You'll upgrade within your first year.

Yes, and doing it as very junior FO's. Come in and sit down son / daughter, let your crazy uncle teach you how to work the system. It hasn't been as easy in '18 as '17 though, I'll say that.

The game has definitely changed here in 2018 on how we make our $ but I am having my best year yet -- less work and more $
On track to do over 300K as an F/O but you have to live in domicile and have to know what game to play when -- it is not the same game this year as it was in previous years due to being temporarily over-manned on F/O's right now.
