Thanks man.
That comment about us ALL having our opinions is spot on.
The crazy thing about the world we live in today is that anonymous people can create a user name and stir up the pot without any ramifications.
At least when you identify yourself and you decide to go off the beaten path.. there is some sort of integrity in that.
Currently there seems to have been 4 "pilots" who got into the UAL Pilot Forum FB Group and did just that, threw grenades and stirred up the pot with "fake news" before being outed and banned.
Goes to show that silly season is upon us.
Until I retire, I'll do what I can to help out my fellow pilots.. especially the NewHires and those new to my fleet.
Always

Only inconvenience for me was that I wasn't flying the Hawg yet to go gorge on the highway of death.

Those pilots who abuse USSERA serve in a volunteer force, nobody’s been conscripted, drafted, or forced to serve. To claim some moral high ground for “god and county” is a load of horse poop. Every reservist and guard bum I’ve flown with answers the same way when I ask “why do you do it?”. The answer is always “for the retirement”. In fact, if you were to take away the personal enrichment and financial incentive of a military retirement, how many pilots would hide behind USSERA?
As far as being a drag on the system, as pointed out; training, benefits, and extra manpower are all real excess costs borne by the company for which there’s zero ROI. Yes, that is a drag on the network.

It must of been shocking to hear that seniority in indoc was age based. Nobody ever explained that to you? Like when they offered the CJO? In 2013 that was made very clear.....enjoy the lawsuit. BTW I was the 8 ball of my class....that means I will make more money, more contributions to the 401k, and longer timeframe in the highest paying seats then any other classmates and I get to retire in the top 100 which is something none of my other classmates can say. So yeah for 20 months I had to commute....I don’t know how I survived this injustice.

I do have a problem with premeditated sharpshooting for fun and profit that abuses the the intent of the law, the company, and fellow pilots (and then to hear them brag about it). My previous comments are aimed at abuse which is rare, but it happens and damages the reputations of all. I hope we can agree on that point.
Thanks for working on HD #3!

As far as profiteering? I lose over $500/day just in pay... so yeah try again. That big profit sharing check this year is gonna pay off huge on the 300 or so hours I’ve credited.
