Wow, same! Change airplanes but remain an FO? No problem! Fly with an AA and TWA captain in the same day? You bet! Upgrade time up to 15 years? Absolutely. Thanks AE!

ps—really appreciate the smashed sandwiches from the parking garage!

Imagine if he was hired years back, was at year 8-9-10 and STILL an FO, maybe downgraded at AE due to the flow backs, got to experience the downline BK effects, displaced out of MIA/BOS, etc.

I wonder how "fun" those videos would have looked?
There wouldn’t be any videos because at 20k/yr he wouldn’t have been able to afford the camera.

Good question.

But you took the time/effort to quote/comment/reply, so there's that.....

Apologies for the lack of comprehensive completeness that summed up many's regional experience.

This is something everyone should know:

It’s better to be lucky than good, timing is everything, there is no justice.
Agreed. Some are fortunate enough to have it, some aren't. I'm sure many of the "youngins" hired 99-2000-2001 thought they had some pretty good timing as well. Then they were recalled for "summer help 2007", them well, ya know.......

You're right, there's NO JUSTICE.

Not "hating" on his good deal.

Absolutely correct. And that's BEFORE taxes with pick-ups.

Meanwhile there are others who are far more cringeworthy than Swayne. Mylayoverlife, the Pan Am guy, and the other 737 captain come to mind.
