If you are Captain at regional with a chance to flow to a real Major don't make the mistake that I made.

You know Delta has already hired their last wide body captain for the next few decades, right?

You are also sitting at a major (yeah yeah I know) and not a regional. Nobody ever knows what is going to happen at a regional and you don’t even know if you would have passed the hogan test. I know I’m the optimistic guy here but amazingly there are people who would like to be where you are. Keep your apps updated and relax a little. This industry is so unpredictable don’t just focus on the bad.

So ends my motivational speech

Most of us would.
Even the juicers know DAL is a superior company with growth, benefits, and a real contract and are just lying to themselves. Bring it on juice-brigade.

Unless you use the word organic before the word growth, it is unrecognizable to some B6ers.
The sluggish movement at Jetblue is the worst aspect of our future.
