I’m sure an administration whose anti-white, anti-middle class, anti-carbon is gonna do wonders for our careers. As to the 4th stripe, still wearing it. For how long? Who knows. Not too concerned about it. I’ve yet to turn 35. I’m sure I’ll be alright in the long run. |

Prior to COVID, no one was making silly statements that Trump was trashing our industry or our wages. In fact, the last four years prior to COVID have been THE BEST of my flying career. And it was the same with yours - you are being dishonest if you say that things weren't the best you'd seen pre-COVID. MY concern with a change of parties in the White House is that the new occupants like to blame everything bad that's happening on the last occupant AND they try to get the financial pain out of the way early in their term of office. That allows them to: 1) have a better economy when they're up for reelection, and 2) blame all the bad stuff on the last guy. This isn't anything new; it happens just about every time there's a change of party in the White House. If there were a D POTUS right now, I'd be worried if an R took over in Jan 2021 because they run the exact same playbook. I want no change to status quo as far as balance of power goes. The seniority movement is the result of age 65 finally catching up (changes from age 60 under Bush), the growth was the result of a successful company executing its business plan. That plan was formed and in effect before Trump took office (think massive 737, 787 orders and deliveries AND 777-300 orders) Finally, our current contract was signed while a Dem was in office. Have we seen a new contract under Trump? Nope. so, stop being afraid, crack a cold one and make a change in November. |

Wow! At United? That’s the age I first got my 4th stripe (at United, 23 at the commuter) and that was considered “lucky”. Hopefully if you lose it the duration won’t be too long.

no he's totally right. my worst income years were as a regional FO at $20-something an hour. therefore that president was the worst.

Hopefully long enough for him to get a clue.
But at least it exposed your character. When I disagree with someone ideologically I don’t wish misfortune upon them. But apparently you do. Classy. |

Your attitude and misinformed beliefs will bring misfortune upon us all. Sometimes you need to touch the hot stove to learn.
