Sounds about right for vacation travel this time of year.

My takeaway from this thread is yall have five leg four-days. My upcoming four day has 14. Yes, I’m trying to be more senior.

Totally agree and it is enslaving the population. Student debt - the lack of any real understanding to what APR is and what it does over time - keeping up with the jone’s on depreciating assets will put you in the financial dirt fast !

No need. The union has Todd on SpeedDial. Should the feces impact the blades, he will airdrop in and whip up a sweet deal for all involved. Some concessions may be necessary, but you'll have time to make it up. Pilots will be pilots (and fold like a seersucker suit) and the bubbly will flow at Willis (or wherever HQ is these days....Dallas???). The pain will be temporary and NECESSARY! Just think of the motivational posters this will spawn! Hell, I'd do this for free!

;)

nice use of the word. enslaving implies forced. please tell us you aren’t that obtuse. it’s simply free will in the free-est country in the world.
you strike me as someone who complains about big mac meals being $13.
