We agree. Anyone talking in absolutes right now is naive. Wait for the final language, read it for yourself, and vote accordingly.

Depending on your source there are a few years that are or aren't in the millennial bucket. Under almost all of them no millennial is 40 for another few years.

I am curious how junior NB A slots will go, given the pay banding for WB B. Last AE didnt have a plethora of NB A slots but because of all of the backfilling it went stupid junior. If it closes before the TA language is out, will NB A bid WB B or hope that narrow body trips get addressed significantly enough to stay put? Seems like a gamble considering the pay rates are much more specifically spelled out in the AIP as opposed to a vague point about improvements in rotation construction.
Would any NB As like to chime in with their thoughts?

I hadn't considered your A to B scenario until I read your post. 737A to the new WB-B (A330 in my case) would be exactly the same hourly rate, $285, so there's no loss of income and potentially a great gain in QOL. With the new QOL items and the increased seniority, I could see myself on long call indefinitely and not flying much except GSs when they are available. I wasn't, but now I am considering it. There's still the TBD training schedule and Virginia Ave. hurtle but... hmmm.

My opinion is that the Millennial term was started as a news/fad type of thing for the year 2000 (Y2K anyone?). I say that because generally Millennials and Gen X’ers are siblings both raised by Boomers, and siblings are typically considered to be from the same generation (with some exceptions).

My experience has been totally opposite.
Dead zones were great!
Young kids showing up 10 min before push because the coffee shop had a line or telling me they’ve done interior inspection when they didn’t … got old really quick.
To say nothing about “I don’t fly into Atlanta” or “I only do every other walk around” instead of “good morning”!

This would be a great trip. Seriously, digging into that brain while they work the radios the entire trip would be entertaining.

So QOL actually CAN trump big pay raises. Who would have thunk it?
