Very much agree unfortunately with the backgrounds of our CA'a that is next to impossible to accomplish with the range of long term goals for them. We have probably 200 lifers here, 300 that have been actively trying to get the hell out and have very competitive hours, just bad timing, and LOTS of fresh CA's that are still scaredy-cats and will do anything the company asks. And the idiots that still think that they will be out of here as soon as they hit 1000 tpic. Or be at FedEX in 6 months so it doesnt concern them. with that combination I don't know how you FO's handle it 
Sometimes I wonder the same thing about handling them. Don't get me started.

He was actually just a check airman, if even that.

I am a little ticked off that some of us get money back from our 401K contributions because too many CA's here don't put enough in yet throw money away. We have NO RETIREMENT from the company and folks still don't take advantage of the gov't tax programs. Sorry folks- I am so frustrated with work and I haven't even worked in 5 days. Between the NMB, company, ops office, crew messages, and trip requests I was ticked- once again seeing my first of the month welfare installment put me over the edge. Even my wife is calling to strike! Our new stickers should read 189% vote to strike!

This is probably the same guy who leases the super nice car, rents a nice apartment, and lives well beyond his means. Its unfortunate but the truth.

Just something to add to the flex argument. Engineers and mechanics I have known have told me that a slightly higher ITT is not the damaging factor when comparing a flex to full power takeoff. It is the overall change of temp. Going from 400 to 800 is much easier on the engines than 400 to 840.
