Most junior NYC MD88 captain...

I know YOU know this and I have to trust that @Seggy knows this as well...

It's not as simple as walking down Virginia Avenue, taking a right at International Blvd, waiting for the light to change and then crossing Loop Rd onto Delta Blvd, walking past the guard house and then proclaiming with such passion "Okay, I'm here...where's the Uniform, Hat, and Wings!?"

A lot of folks who say the things some of you are mocking are genuinely not prepared to make the change. It could be they haven't showered in five years, updated the logbook since they upgraded with only 1 year under their belts as an FO, or no higher education, or any other number of elements that the coveted Mainline Gods wish to see.

I suppose my final point is that I'm perfectly happy with the senior Regional Captains giving their excuses for not leaving as it means one less person I have to compete with. The downside is that as a nearly topped out RJ FO, my movement at my current shop is nearly nonexistent. I can deal with neutral movement here while I prepare for interviews at places where it's a two year upgrade to Captain, at a "career" Company.

Haha. I was going to say the same exact thing. My dog begs me not to leave. When I put on the pilot uniform he knows exactly what it means, and he hates it. He is super excited when I come home from a trip too. :)

IMO, this is why dogs are better than cats. I feel like a dog understands what is going on or going to happen, while the cat is just waiting to be served by a human.

I hate it when a thread drifts when I read one, so my apologies to contributing to the thread drift.

Back on topic, we all know that NYC is a expensive place to live and probably long reserves for a newbie Captain on the MD-88 so that is why it is so junior. So to make it a fair comparison, can we look at other bases for the MD-88 so we can see how big of a difference, in seniority, is the most junior captain? What about comparing against other fleet types? If any of this is proprietary information, then don't worry about it.

Well, I'm a 2001 hire and there's maybe 2-4 guys junior to me in ATL M88A.

If you die in your armchair tonight, your dog will protect you and your cat will eat you.

If left alone long enough, with no other food resource your dog will eat you too. Dog's might be man's best friend, but they're still animals. And survival of the fittest is the first rule of law, in the animal kingdom. They'd hate it and not arrive at the decision lightly, but they'd eat you.

Dude- relax. It's just a cliche. Why so dark, Dwight?
