I usually pick up the tab the entire trip for all first year guys that don’t act entitled. I’d also be the first to take an early out to let you have your piece of the pie. 30 years as a commercial pilot is starting to lose it’s charm.
JetBlue might have been a better choice for you?

I think Spirit and some of the other domestic carriers can take advantage on the other side of this virus while the Big 3 retreat. That can’t happen if you have 10%-20% of your pilots on the street and there’s probably about a two year window for that. Seniority is obviously everything in this business, but I think that’s why a lot of senior Jetblue guys have been respective to spreading out the wealth with an immediate snapback when business returns to normal. We’ll see the details in a couple weeks.

I'm on team Mtnbikemike. Sounds experienced and wise to me.

Put me on the “I want to fly with this guy list!”

I’d just like to to work, and I don’t care who I fly with. Just going flying would be nice.

same. We are all different. Learn to play in the sandbox. In 8 years I’ve never been so triggered by a different set of ideals or opinions that I felt the need to call in sick and stay home until someone I deemed worth flying with came along.

You certainly like to bash me every chance you get. I noticed in your last dig, you referred to me as an idiot. Considering you walked away from American and are now looking at possible furlough from an ACMI type 36th St Miami operation, I wonder who the idiot is?

I do not have a dog in this fight, but I have been following your Envoy posts since their inception. Without bickering - introduce me any financial advisor who would ever advocate continuing a job (Envoy) whose total compensation is <50% to that of Spirit's. NPV is a real thing, and I would much rather make 2-3x more money now, verses continue making Envoy money for 5-7 more years and then go to AA.

You spelled Envoy wrong.
