I see. Didn't realize that was the culture for awhile. Glad to see it changing!

Weren’t we agreeing to extend by simply signing the release? That changed too I believe.

Great point and it extends to the number of pilots too. If you expect to have a 4 man but are legal for 3 and a guy calls out, you don’t have to take it.

Didn't they repaint that jet to say "F you?'

Naw, they say thank you with their words and reserve F you for their actions.

But I’ll see that image in my head if I ever see the FU jet in person.

I personally always see the FU jet even when I fly it. I was/will always be an UNA i very much remember how they treated us. They can go pound as much sand as Ed has lost sleep over.

No amount of TYFAD will solve that problem they created. I will always remember I'm just a number and thus they are always just a number to me. I will always be doing minimal effort until I retire in 30 years. IDGAS about the delta difference these days. The only difference I care about is how much $ I'm loosing by being here compared to my peers. FUPM!

Quick and fast is 10-15k a year in WB pay at minimum. While one could say PS makes the difference, I will say that PS isn't pay. considering we have gotten 1250 in the past two years for PS. Yeah PS isn't anything unless you have a profit. I'd rather have the pay/work rules.

You can do you, but I'll be doing minimal for the next 30 years. Good luck DAL you'll need it.

How you were treated as a UNA? It was stressful but you were paid the entire time (acknowledging that was largely due to CARES).

Had to do an extra lap or two on VA Ave? Me too (not UNA.)

Ask the 9/11 furloughees if they’d trade stories with you.

Now you’re saying you’re going to pitch a multi-decade fit? Grow up.

You can be an adult professional while still advocating for better working conditions. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Maybe you’re venting?
