then Call out Sick, lol. Giving up Vacation at Nk absolutely was the worst part about leaving. All summer vacations etc. There are ways to get days off. I mean C’mon….. we’re pilots. 😂

intermittent Fmla works well. lol. I’m not trying to convince anyone of staying or going. That’s why I mentioned just a consideration.

nah I hear you. It really is the brutal reality. I’ll
never have it as good as I had it schedule wise at NK. There is simply no comparison. Just saying there are ways to mitigate the pain and suffering. I blocked like 50hrs from June 1 to Sep 1 😂😂. I used to do one Legger EWR-MYR Y-LIST for what I make my entire month at UAL. Ahhh the Good old Days!

listen, (especially with a family) leaving the money and seniority was absolutely brutal BUT, there are significant upsides. It’ll be aight

Thanks brother, excited for the new chapter.

yeah, just dial down the “at XYZ, we did it this way stuff” and that would be great!

The average F9 or NK dude blows away 99% of Big-3 airbus line dudes (not their fault....gentlemanly AQP) and recites overhead panel knowledge in his sleep

ask Big-3 "what triggers" the RAT to come out and you will get deer in the headlights

gotta love it

At big-3 every type is just a stepping stone until the next system bid. Most don't get that intimate with them.
