Some guys are perfect for night freight. He's gonna be great.

To each their own.

You don't fly all night in your 787?

"You'll do fine at AA, bunch of old farts retiring, 787 guys first."

----Do much trolling?

Truth be told (try it sometime), there are a whole bunch of Eastie A330 Captains heading out waaay before I leave. Most of the guys I fly with used to be N/B Captains who decided getting the same money for more time off works better for them.

I'm hitting the job fairs this year. If I can't get on at UPS or FDX then I guess I'll ride it out at AA.

I just love it!

Such fun attitude before even showing up at job fairs!

I think you should bypass the whole thing and say "boys, it's time to meet your future CEO."

Not much.
Not going to S. America any more.

For $400,000 I don't think there will be many takers to fly 787's to S. America. :-/

Acually, DFW-SCL is an ok trip.

So is DFW-GRU.

It's just that the Asia trips pay better and work fewer days.

Having a 4 man crew is a good thing for crew rest/breaks.

(Stuff SWA guys don't have to think about.)

No trolling, if I say something to you I really mean it. Your opinion is that your generation made AA great, sorry, that is not the case. It is not bad, my life is great, but AA comes up short when compared to others, if that hurts your feelings, so be it.

What's your deal? Upset I don't love AA? You should be happy. I'm probably senior to you.
