I appreciate this thread. As an older guy but new to 121, It is becoming clear to me the importance of QoL, even over seat/equip and (somewhat) pay.
Good Luck with the new adventure.

D@mn, now I’ve got to go on TOF and figure out who this Nostradamus TD guy is. He sounds like a real gem.

TSMITR (the smartest man in the room) is also a good search term when seeking the wisdom of TD, or if you're just looking to get nauseous.

Works on the "P" forum too.

Yes, I will now sit reserve from my pool!

I don't care about giving up 16 years of seniority. As MCO captain I was 91% anyway, so to me, I am loosing nothing. I will move up faster in MIA starting over. Yes, I could of bid back to FO, which I did for a little, but that sucked.

And as far as the financials at AA, they are not going anywhere. Way too much of a powerhouse in the US transportation system for anyone to allow them to fold. Bankruptcy? Maybe. I can handle a furlough as I have a few side businesses. (This would not be happening without that)

So, trust me, I have thought all of this out lol
the bankruptcy comment was a joke. Anyone who thinks AA is going into bankruptcy knows nothing about how corporate debt is structured and managed. But I expect him to be here soon to explain it to us.

Huge move. Wishing him the best for a happy and prosperous 2nd bite at the apple.
The hits keep on coming for the LUV airline.


Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark.
