“regional flying” comment grinds my gears. If this flying wasn’t at mainline many of us wouldn’t be here at mother U. We fought/advocated for years to bring the flying back in house and now we complain about it.
My next trip has “regional flying” (DSM, RIC, CMH) on it. I will take my 7 year NBCA rate, 17% PRAP and profit sharing compared the lost decade of slave wages

Still well into post pandemic hires from 2022. Only 3 years ago. Much more junior than the "post pandemic hires missed the CA upgrade window". Also that we had another vacancy when last months was "the last one until next fall" which is turning into "there will be monthly clean up vacancies".

20 years ago is the key phrase here. Those 6-8 leg days are a young person’s game. What I could do then and can do now without complete exhaustion are 2 different animals.

So you can imagine my surprise when other pilots are echoing this to me when I asked them why they are upgrading etc they literally said the exact same thing. They heard it was "the last bid".

Things have changed. NBCA vacancies are very slim and going senior. It will take a few years to shake out and then presumably it might approach some sort of sustainable pattern which is very likely to be 5-10 years to captain and much longer to lineholding captain. There's really no reason a seniority based 30-year career would have people making captain shortly after hire.
A lot more bad takes in other threads. This was the first I found.
