For the third time, I never said I was in a poor position. I have actually said quite the opposite. If you refuse to pay attention to what I say, then what's your motive in asking me for a response? Because you seem to have your mind already made up.
My goal? Discussing history is how we learn from it. There's nothing wrong with setting the record straight. Also, the issue was relevant at the time. The discussion has dragged on though, so I will probably end my participation for consideration's sake. If discussing the truth of our industry's history is too much for you, perhaps next time you shouldn't participate at all. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to flying ERJs for endeavor...........

For what it’s worth I had my “regional appreciation” lap after USAF. 6 months at Skywest. It was aweful and waaaaay more of a crappy life than the Air Force. I salute anyone that has struggled or is currently struggling Chained to the bench of that slave ship. Being a Lt in a fighter squadron is a breeeeezzze compared being an FO

$160K in a 14% bond rate market, vs $350K in a 3.5% bond market. Hindsight is 20/20, we know the performance of money from 1986 till today. It is fully possible we could repeat, but consider the DOW would have to go to ~500,000. In other words, the captain in 1986 was paying off his debts in much cheaper dollars, while earning unparalleled gains in the market.
When interest rates normalize at a historical 7%, today's captain is making more. You will find out what I mean over the next decade.

In 1986 a $100K home at 15% interest is a 30 year monthly payment of $1264
Your 2.6% for a $100K home today, is a 30 year monthly payment of $400
Making $160K in 1986, you are significantly farther ahead of the median income standard of living, than you are today at $300K.

When you buy a house, you are purchasing a mortgage payment plan.

This is why Delta's financials are so incredibly strong, as ticket prices lagged inflation all these years by a significant margin.

I don't know about the guide, but it's pretty self explanatory. Go into PBS and select "training" bid. You can ask for Please go early, or don't go unless required. You can pick the days off like normal, and lastly you can ask for a specific "period" like A, B, C or "No E" for example.
That's about all there is to it!
