As I alluded to above, if you want to blame Boomers for your troubles, we are in the PRIME BOOMER TO MILLENIAL WEALTH TRANSFER INDUSTRY. Either boomers are unreasonable people who hoard wealth and go on vacations and cruises instead of giving it to their kids, putting us in a great position, or boom...

Possibly 1 case in future 5-10 years of crews pushing to an accident/incident because of this incentive, vs probably thousands of cases until then when a FCM/FA decides to make a few bills for flying 15 minutes into unforeseen instead of pulling the plug on the whole aircraft down in Cuba. The cost ...

Because WS didn't want to "run the risk of FULLY taking on the route network", the ex-swg flights are all still "charters" and thus can't be booked. Only way is for employees to book on WJ code flights and then "show up early and ask if able to switch". Supposedly a fix is coming in the new year. ma...

Bunch of boomers retiring and going "what are we gonna do with all this time and money?"

Typical pre-contract negotiation tactic, carrot in the fall "3 classes in 2026" followed by stick in winter "no hiring in 2026".

Got a chance to fly the plane with the 28in pitch recently. Prior to boarding I went to try out the seat.

Let's just say if I ever have to sit in those rows, the passenger in front of me will be getting a free lower back massage from my knees.

I'm 6'4". Yikes.

As I obscurely alluded to in my first response to OP At the end of the day, your family comes first before the company. The corporations will drop you the moment you cease becoming useful to them. Going from somewhere where you are a name, to somewhere where you are a number, is only a good idea if ...

AC and WJ cause AIDS. The smaller the 705, the better your quality of life will be.

If the music for the musical chair stops in the coming 5 years, you'll be better off at PD than AC or WJ. If it doesn't, will you?

Thought that place was to the south of Aerial

Except for the ones who want to kill themselves in a spectacular fashion

No proponents for Clarity Alofts?

We were told class of 20 flow from Encore to WJ mainline on Jan 6 2026

Wait til WJ actually looks at the volume of flying SWG was doing in the East, and then deplores the lack of pilots in the East to counter weather-related IROPS. The idiots who agreed to a full reduction bid without seeing 1 winter's worth of flying fully integrated first are gonna look real smart to...

I haven’t heard any 400 new hire talk Apparently that's what was told to current transition class. Correct, I am in that class and heard it. AVH and DP also came for a visit on day 3 and AVH joked that it looked like we'd be receiving a new jet every 2 weeks in fall 2026, making DP a little nervous.

In 2024, I was sent a letter requiring me to test for 2 conditions due to my BMI. While I tested negative for the first condition, I badly failed for the second, despite having 0 associated symptoms. Nevertheless, medical pulled until condition proven treated satisfactorily. I was able to do my ren...

EU has neither the economic, military, social, or spiritual capacity to get themselves into an armed conflict. An EU army is a pipedream

3% of 2500 is 75

No, 3% reduction in US flying, not 3% reduction in pilots

Assume incompetence at your peril, friend

Wizz in Hungary. No income taxes on families with 4 kids or more. Based PM. Booming economy. Beautiful clean cities. Centrally located. Cheap cost of living compared to the West LOL Wizz is a greasy operator, post covid "yea we will hire you back but back to the bottom of the pay scale". Hungary is...
