I would too. These kids need to understand that there's more to life than flying and building time. It's all about balance. One day he will no doubt be complaining about not getting enough time off!

That usually happens on Day 4 of one's first trip off IOE

I know hindsight is 20-20, but man, that TA we passed is brutal, now we can't do anything but wait until OO has recruitment problems, which may never materialize due to all the base locations etc.
preaching to the choir here, man. I couldn't believe the BS spewing out of SAPA and managements mouths back in July. SAPA sold growth to an understaffed and overworked pilot group. Unprecedented. I was in a van with a SLC crew saying they couldn't wait for it to pass because they were promised all this 900 flying. See how that went. I flew with a SAPA guy who told me if we didn't take the 1% we wouldn't see another TA for years. The facebook group made everyone believe anything more than 1% would bankrupt us. That being said, most could see through the wool, but they just needed 51%. They won. We're now some of the lowest paid 121 pilots in America. Skywest went from the best to being the bottom feeders in less than 5 years. We're getting booted from jump seats.

I'll believe everything else you posted, but this is nonsense. 99.8% of pilots don't read APC and couldn't care less who voted for what. If you got booted from a jumpseat, I guarantee you it's not because you work at OO and the operating crew isn't happy with OO's pay vote.

Were you actually on there? If you read the facebook group at the time, you would have thought it would be voted down 95-1. There was 1 REALLY loud voice for it he has moved on.

No regional pilot group is going to let their own rogues start a jumpseat war with OO, that would be like letting your skinny loser buddy pick a bar fight with Mike Tyson.

Most major pilots could not care less about regional intra mural issues.

I will never boot a Skywest jumpseater and I have plenty of petty reasons to do so. Nor will I talk about any of those petty reasons.

It will be a safe space for the 3 of us...unless you're wearing a MAKE AMERICA GREAT hat. Well, then it's on like Donky Kong and you should just rent a car.

2 OO pilots in the past month have been booted from a regional jump seat, told to find their own way.
