It's the, "Me, me, me" generation's fault. Now get off my lawn!

I don't know that I'd say generations plural.

You know what, I’d agree with that assessment

Thanks man, great idea. I’ll reach out and see if they need any help. I’m pretty pumped, just got an offer on my house, and a Zoom invite for Eastern 777. Not the best airline I’d admit, but thankful for the opportunity to interview given my driving record. The FO pay is on par with Spirit too, so with Home Basing, I think I’ll go if I get the CJO.

I decided to stay at Spirit. I'm going to ask if I can stay a captain, but I'm willing to work for first officer wages. My wife said she'd leave me and take all the dogs with her because she only wants to be with a captain and doesn't like first officers. There is a United captain that lives in the Woodlands that she does some housework for when I am on the road that said first officers aren't really pilots.
