I can’t “tell you again” because I never said anything about Skywest in the first place, I never mentioned them or any other regional.

Don’t get riled up man, grab a beer and chill.

I didn’t say squat about giving up, you did.

That’s a pretty big statement to gamble your job security and career on. You sir, are a man of faith, I can respect that.

Keep in mind, they don’t need to be capable to do it (I personally think if they want to do it, they can, one way or another), they really just have to scare half of the pilot group + 1, that’s it.

I don’t say give up, but I do realize that having no scope when negotiation time comes, is like bringing a knife to a gun fight. Granted we’ll bring the biggest machete and swing it around fiercely like it’s going out of style, they still have the colt at arms length, they know it.

I’m not too sure we can come into the table in 2 years with “all the leverage we want”. I commend the attitude, I’m also game for swinging for the fences and getting the pitch forks out early. But ignoring that we have no scope and acting like it makes no difference at the table is naive.

I think the AK pilots still have too many “yes Sir” pilots in their ranks. An AK pilot actually called me out about my orange lanyard. I guess some of us don’t roll over quite as easily as others over an email threat. Maybe it was an isolated incident. He was pretty young. As of now I think mgt will have no problem with 50+1 on anything. Maybe the AK pilots will prove me wrong. Just my opinion. Flame away

I have the exact same feeling...

I’m a fairly new FO based in SEA and seem to only get used about half the time on reserve. If you can sit reserve at home it’s great in my book. I won’t be close to breaking min (79hrs) this month. But as others said, you can try and pick up from open time during your days off to make some extra.

This pnw flyer guy keeps showing up in the Delta forum dissing the c series and hyping up Boeing. It all makes sense now. He must really love those spacious, quiet and innovative 737s so much that he hates on any plane that isn't one, even at his own company

Makes me wonder if he’s got some skin in the game...like someone he knows works at Boeing?

Everyone hates on FiFi and the 737 is still selling aircraft. So sorry if I hurt a few feeling on the Delta page.

Oh, yes, I have quite a bit invested in Boeing so I stick up for them. Not that they need my help. Boeing lawyers do just fine on their own.

I'll ask you, do you really believe the 737 is a better product than the Airbus and if so, why?

Chakerik

Uh, no hurt feelings....just trying to figure out your unrelenting obsession with defending all things Boeing and attacking everything that isn't. You might try a non Boeing sometime. You might find that you like it.

Don't get me wrong, Boeing has a good product. But the 737 has had it's day and sure isn't more comfortable than the Airbus or c series from a passenger and pilot perspective. It's a tired old design that's been recycled too many times.

Cue the attacks on Airbus and c series.

He’s stuck in the PNW bubble, just like our company
