Bro I’m a button pusher. I am a widget that moves across the computer screen. A nothing. I am happy with that too cause 5…20. That’s all I need to know.
I’m saying you are talking out your arse. That’s what I’m saying man. We are shrinking right now because we have supply side issues, not demand side. Once they get that in order we will be expanding like gang busters. That’s the way this industry works. Management is always a day late and a dollar short and reactionary. WN used to be different but now we are the same. We will top 10K pilots and 65K people before you know it.
You are a Debbie downer, I get it. Some people are optimists and some are full of negative energy. You are the latter. You cherry pick fares, you cherry pick news, you most likely cherry pick what your spouse says….it’s all good I guess but let’s keep it to facts here. We will have more people on property by EOY 2022 then we had 2019 EOY. That will happen.

Thousands of employees volunteered for buyouts, early retirement or long-term leave during the pandemic. And the airline has had to bring on new employees to replace those departed workers to meet the demand, Mr. Jordan added.
“I’ve been at the airline for 33 years,” he said. “Constraints have always been, can you get aircraft, can you get airports, facilities, gates? This is the first time where the constraint is staff.”
He’s saying the same thing. We are having to hire people to replace the people we’ve lost. I’m my opinion the writing is on the wall. We have reduced capacity in hopes of turning the tide, of not having enough people capital on the ground to run the airline and turning a profit. So far that has not happened without tax payer money. Now you start throwing runaway inflation, fuel price increases, and a not so trustworthy administration in DC, the cost will start to add up. And in the past when the cost start mounting which they are, we will pull the plug on any growth and start to pull back. It’s like a broken record. That’s what they did in 2007, and it may very well happen again here.

That’s just as bad as the idiots in the cabin with their speaker on during flight. Inconsiderate a************s.

Ask them to turn it down for crying out loud. That’s so damn rude. “I like this music, so everyone else must too”. Idiots….

Oh, I get it now. You're a country is headed for the abyss guy. I was mistaking you for someone with rational thought.
Must be the socialists. Or is it the fascists? I can never remember. Guess I'll forget upgrade and get one of those Missile silo bunkers in South Dakota.

Thanks but it usually takes forever for an obvious troll to be removed when I have reported them in the past, and then they just come back with a new user name anyway. Not worth the time or effort for a member.
Just saying with modern technology the forum should be able to stop them from signing up with multiple accounts after they have been banned.

Hopefully we can get all the people we need with minimal attrition. A new CBA would help offset the things we lack like aircraft variety, upgrade time, etc.
Most every CA I fly with tells me I’ll be in the left seat in less than 2 years if I want it. We’ll see….

Indeed -- and I just reach up and do it. I don't ask. Even if it's music I like, I'm at work, and I've got things to do. Music blaring in my ear does not help me do that, especially when it involves trying to talk on a radio. Ever try to do an HF check with Nelly blasting at full volume?
