I'll just have to wait until I get current and hired somewhere else to do that.

You called aeromedical and they were no help too? For me they've been worth every penny of union dues.

I said before that being on long term disability and returning was probably the only exception. Even medical bills are not an excuse if you kept your job because our insurance would've caused only a small hardship easily recoverable. Being on LTD and our LTD is the industry worst if you're out for more than 24 months.

Why is it the ones holding the line, calling out names here, and not picking up JAs have sugar mommas at home or get 92 hours of union time a month.

I give you props for single Dad in this field. It is no easy task. But in reality you are not holding the line you drop under 72 to be home because it is tough to schedule daycare. So even at 70 hours average assuming 4th yr CA you are grossing $110,000 a year. Hardly struggling with money compared to first year FO grossing at 72 $33264 and they have families too.

Also every time I hit ignore on my phone there's a chance he company has to cancel a flight and lose tens of thousands of dollars. So next theory please
