Is it going to be ABQ or LIT? Make up your mind!

My understanding is there was initially a lot of lobbying by pilots who claimed to be pro-KLIT, but plans were scrapped when on further inspection, it became apparent that most of them could not even locate it on a chart.

Everybody... these are generalizations

Millenials- late starters on life due to financial crisis out of college etc, late to marry, late to have kids.. trying to buy homes during historic inflation and appreciation, need higher wages just to get started. More mobile than older crowd and willing to upgrade in base due to QOL bump from more $$. Knows music could stop anytime.

Z (pilots only)- Just got here. Walked Into the best hiring environment in 35 yrs, only known the good times, young, hungry, often single or newly we'd, highly mobile and flexible, willing to upgrade and take the cash and play like a 25-28yr old would want to. More trusting of management growth aspirations than other gens.

X- burned and burned badly. Like a beaten puppy. Only known bad times and cant wrap head around latest industry developments. Highly skeptical of everything related to this job. QOL for them means only one thing- Senior FO on a livable wage. Commonly commuters. Won't touch the left seat until they are well-established LH captains. Won't upgrade after TA2 because the reserve rule improvements have to be higher than we'll likely get at 51%+.

Boomers- jumping out of those ugly coastal bases for those sweet low tax states, should we get them. Kids gone. No need for that expensive house in orange county. Retiring soon. Time to shore up finances & spend time on a boat telling stories of BK/Mergers. Bidding behaviors in this regard only exacerbate coastal vacancies.
