your vote is cast so...admit it now...
You drank that “Core4” punch during LEAP training and went back for seconds and thirds didn’t you?

Hmm that seems like a fun idea for the weekend. Who can come up with the best Core4 punch.

I think mine would be rum based.

1 part plantation dark
1 part plantation O.F.T.D.
1 part bacardi Reserva 8 yr
1 part orange juice

Blend with one cup crushed ice and serve with a tiny umbrella.

Might take some trial and error to find the right recipe.

As a Level 4 game changer I'll supply the glassware in honor of this TA.

that’s pretty funny :-)

you know, I liked LEAP training (solid level 3 guy here). didn’t care for charm school,
I thought the leadership stuff was a little patronizing.

I have not cast my vote yet. I definitely know how I would cast it today, but I will wait to see if any more information changes my mind. I don’t see a rush… There’s always more to learn

I think you’ll be surprised at how many in the upper group either want to keep their seat, or don’t mind working 10% fewer days a month. The Stock market has been pretty good the last 10 years, and most of the 60+ people I flew With were pretty squared away financially. The old trope of four divorces, an airplane and a boat seems less common.

I also think there are a lot of people in the lower group who categorically distrust management and view this not as working less, but working for less. To me that is an important difference, but not to others

There won't be that many yes in the lower group, particularly those that are in denial about furlough and haven't received a WARN yet.
