It's out.

I'll say something positive...many Captains were able to return to their domiciles they were displaced from.

AA and UAL are run by people so stupid they shouldn’t have been given entry to the short bus. Delta is too woke to hire anyone with actual experience, preferring FO’s who just got hired at the regionals who spend their time uploading TikTok videos.

AA and DL’s bases suck. So does UAL’s except for 1, which is also their most senior.

Fight me.

Not that I necessarily disagree with the overall premise of this comment, but the part in quotations leads me to believe you just really, really like Denver. As for AA and UA; SWA has several bases in the same cities or within spitting distance, so I guess our bases suck too? As far as DL, I can think of a couple of their base cities I’d love to have! (SEA and SLC particularly)

Hopefully the Captains will be buying drinks for the 1221!

If they’re not, then I’m buying for whichever fellow FO has been displaced the farthest!

Yup! That's the understatement of the year. Last year I was able to execute a series of trades to cobble together a summer vacation to take the family on a long Alaska cruise for our 20th anniversary. It cancelled. (thanks Covid) Rebooked for next summer... so gotta try and do it all over again now!

I use “personal time off” for those kinds of things. I bid vacation based on what months I was to pad my paycheck and I can pick up premium over it since we aren’t going anywhere
