I never advocated for such. I’m just pointing out that taking a job with the hopes of a new contract is dumb. Staying in a seat or airplane after your seat lock is up if you’re not enjoying it with the hopes of a new contract is also dumb.

Also, PI’s not being allowed to upgrade to Captain as a status quo violation lol.

He didn’t write that, he said that in a video. You’re reading a transcript by someone else, who may or may not be able to spell.

1. It’s a bit late for that now. There’s only 10 (advertised) DEN 737 CA vacancies for this, the last bid prior to the summer.
2. They’d actually have to fly and be away from home. The thought might not be so appealing when the mouse pointer is hovering over “save” on the vacancy bid screen.

1. Instructors have standing bids. They are the SUPs on the category summary. They can exercise their bids whenever they want with the appropriate notice. This vacancy is irrelevant. 2. Many of my friends who are instructors commute to Denver. You'd be surprised how may nights they are away from home.

The company would probably be happy to replace the senior instructors with cheaper, more junior pilots.

They would be ecstatic to replace them all with way cheaper contract instructors.

1. most already hold bids for captain In the base they would want to be in if they left TK.

2. Guess you don’t really know how many commute and are away from home anyway.
