What is funny is I've received a number of PMs calling me out as being too optimistic. It's hard to achieve exactly the right balance of optimism/pessimism that is acceptable at APC

What about other airlines that we stapled with a gun to their head and stole captain seats from. How do you think it feels to be them. 717 was a great plane with window shades, barcoloungers and printers.

I’ll be at the informational pickets to complain about the company walking all over our contract, but you won’t hear me whining about being junior.

This will all be fixed when we hire 1500 pilots next year. But the scars from 1221, no covid CC pull, displacing FOs to the west coast, and so on will remain.
Kudos for planing on attending the informational pickets, see you there.

Just because the contract doesn't prohibit something, doesn't mean it's a great idea. I don't think shipping junior pilots all around the system in the best interest either the company or pilot group.
