I always figured our lowbrow advertising came from some ultra low class millennial intern.

Also if you live in base it makes the schedules that much better, I had always commuted before coming here, and living in base is great!
If you are starting third year pay in a few months that means you've been here 1 year and 10 months. Upgrades right now are running 2.5/2.6 years depending on bypassers. You will likely be eligible to upgrade by Christmas. Better start studying!

I heard it referred to as crime scene tape paint. Sounds fitting.

What's truly amazing is that as much as we like to put down our own airline we still won't go somewhere else and expect an awesome contract to be negotiated to stay here another, say 10 yrs?

Gents…

Is the consensus at NK that the good Quality of Life items you all have currently might be reduced in trade for a significant pay increase?

Have read NK pilots have one of the best QOL contracts around….

Hope you guys are able to negotiate both parts upwards!!

At 8 upgrades a month it will be a little bit.
