I'm not sure where this is coming from? We've got NB captains with 3 years on property? Is it the WB captain slot that isn't forthcoming that we're talking about? If so, hasn't that just been the standard since the dawn of time?

I am convinced Strawberry is just Kirby trolling his own pilot group.

Too late. I’m pretty sure you and Trollberry are the same dude. No way people are this clueless.

Oh come off it. You guys clown on me for being a troll when I just say the quiet part out loud. Everyone hired 2024+ is just role playing as the COVID hires’ furlough fodder. We are the ones likely to be double furloughees, and I get mocked for mentioning as much, accused of being a troll for having my own (founded) concerns for my future career.

Just because you don’t like what I’m saying doesn’t mean I’m clueless or a troll. Get a grip.

Boy genius has discovered that being the bottom person on the seniority list is more scary than being the top person, in any era and any company. Last I checked we seem to be doing pretty well for all of our pilots. Strawberry go check out Avelo or Spirit or Cathay or Kalitta and you can gloat to us about how awesome it all is.

******* dude…..have you actually been furloughed yet? Do you how many furloughees you’re gonna fly with ? Continental folks who had to flow back to express, United folks complaining about loss in seniority after the merger, bankruptcy! This is why people question and/or hope you don’t really work at United. You sound like a hater to the 2021 - early 2024 hires and if you carry that sentiment to any flight deck you’re going to upset the seniors guys. Just be positive and don’t carry this attitude around with you at any airline.

btw how did the delta interview go ?

took a big L on that one but as time passes I’m honestly happy to be here and thank I’ll ride it out and skip interviewing again.

I second this. It’s the same patterns of writing style.

RS isn’t even a United pilot. He talked about interviewing less than 2 months ago.
