Management needs to realize that if we don’t change the mindset, we will be left behind. One thing that Delta does so well is that they are always looking ahead.
I’m in the same exact position as you…

So far 4 guys have left from my class. 3 for United.

Your indecision has already cost you thousands of seniority numbers at your “what if” carriers. Settle in and reevaluate your decision on your 65th birthday. The wave has already passed you.

This checks. All the old 1900’s are coming out of heavy checks down in FLL. Sounds like they want to add frequency between DAL and HOU. This solves the pax load variable. And, everyone gets A list…. Pax will love it.

Hope I'm senior enough to hold B1900 captain. I'm tired of dealing with FAs.

AA has 90% of DFW,

SW might as well have 90% of MCO... and FLL?

We'd still have guys insisting on wearing that crappy Telex and missing all the radio calls.

Ive been on military leave so haven’t had the opportunity to make a move yet. The wave for now has stopped, but retirements at AA are still coming.

I believe mgt. has said. " we are right where we want to be ". No need for change, it reminds me of the music playing on the main deck as the Titanic goes under
