They don't expect you to live there, unless you have a sugar momma, or the 'rents basement. Pilots are as much to blame for that as anyone.

I did. Care to give any more heinous advice?

Many voted yes because they didn’t care. I’m flying with guys and gals who are in the middle of messy divorces and breakups because the QOL has gotten so bad, their families are leaving. So they don’t care. They take what they can get because they are too busy dealing with their failing personal lives. It’s rampant as the QOL gets worse....

Man, you’re wasting your time with that group. As the saying goes “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” I don’t get it anymore than you do

There's many people in general who just don't get along with airline life. Stupid to blame people's personal problems on their job. In all honesty, many going through a divorce better be damn glad they have a job to deal with the aftermath.

The absolute garbage schedules for April are up, enjoy. If nothing else they should motivate you to GTFO.

I didn’t know things could suck as bad as they are!

We need trip and duty rigs badly!

And yesterday was a new personal record, 2 calls from CS, from 2 different schedulers, in 2 minutes, asking if I wanted to pick up 2 different trips for the generous 150% override!

I think this summer is going to be a disaster!
