Only time I updated my apps was when our 'union' forgave certain sections of the contract in a quid pro quo. Still waiting on my quid, but after that fiasco of a meltdown and a complete **** of an MEC chairman, I am now many years later and C2018 in place, content.

better not sacrifice any QOL to get there.

making $300/hour means nothing if you’re working 20 days a month and can’t drop

Everyone always says this. United or any other major airline’s pilots aren’t working 20 days a month unless they chose to and everyone I know at United says they have decent schedule flexibility. Maybe not as good as ours but it isn’t exactly sweat shop conditions working over there…
