100% CA at another airline got away with this type of thing and kept abusing until he ran over someone killing them and was sentenced to jail and then committed suicide.

Extra random testing is not life altering, and another person would still be here.

Never met a single recovered person who regretted being recovered.

Absolutely. As the saying goes, not all AMers are a-holes, but (almost) all the a-holes are AMers!

Thankfully we have choices here.
For sure. If I had the seniority horsepower and bidding acumen to get only west coast AMs, that's all I would fly. Bonus points for SNA and LGB overnights where there is a curfew. My base does mostly west coast flying, but there's still plenty of CLE and BUF early wake-up's at 2:45am body clock, and that is just a no go for me.

you’ve got the horsepower to do it. You just have to come back to 757 FO pay to do it. You can finally reap the benefits of this FO contract, then.

Yeah you guys really screwed us in this contract. We will get you next time. 12 year captains are starving and their kids can barely afford their private school tuition.
