Enjoy your time off, it’s not fun at work right now. I went back after being off for several months and couldn’t stand being there.

Yeah, I doubt we’ll be seeing extra sims. Cost prohibitive. Best you can do is study hard and hope for a reasonable CKA that can see the difference between incompetence and rust.

Not sure, just didn’t enjoy it. Probably just need to retire. If only I was 25 years older.

You get to park at terminal parking, walk straight into the airport with no lines and be at your gate in 10 minutes or less. No lines for coffee, no crowds, easy flights, with exception to the occasional difficult anti masker, and few red eyes. If you get randomed, there are no lines at TSA Pre check. When you land, you get to deplane into no crowds and go straight to your car at terminal parking. DHs and commuting are easy because nothing is full. Form your own opinion 😉

DTW does not have terminal parking. We ride the short yellow bus.

As you filthy DTW pilots should...lol

I have been buying terminal parking for a year or so prior to the RonaDemic. Life is too short at this stage of my life and career to spend it on the employee ghetto mobile. If I was working at the Terminal D Starbucks, then yeah...but I don't.

Going have to take the other side on this one. Terminal in DTW has had barely any accommodations during Covid. There are no lines at Starbucks because they aren’t open (see Vegas Starbucks closing early whenever they see fit). Orlando has ended their princess parking and like mentioned DTW never had it, among others. Commuting has been more difficult to gauge on airlines like SWA and DAL due to middle seats being blocked. And from my perspective, the airports have been crowded. I could go on but I am truly thankful to be employed. That being said, I would trade all of the perks you mentioned to get the industry back to where it was in 2019.
