True, I can hold 73, not 77 though. While I am senior to the junior CA since we can bid over now the senior guys are filling those ahead of me.
I worded it poorly, I meant upgrade on my current fleet; I don’t want my first upgrade to be a plane I haven’t flown if I can prevent it.

Gotta get past the KCM potential random screening nonsense, so you need to be in "uniform" of some sort until first change opportunity.

This is mind blowing to me. I got my 10 year ALPA pin the same month I showed up to class at my current employer.

Kids these days will never understand why all the GenX pilots are all bitter and unhappy.

Good for him
I was concerned that extra attention to the possibility screwed it up for him.
AA/WO have the industry leading flow to UAL right now

Good for him. 4 yrs at Envoy and United at ~25? He'll have a nice career.

It’s all good. You have to trust recruiting and hiring just like you have to trust maintenance and the accounting departments. What matters to me is that I’m senior to The Bachelor and this guy.
I have to learn how to make origami roses out of ACARS paper for the craic just to hassle him when I upgrade
although I think all the influencers are going direct to the widebodies for the clout
Ha!
Yeah, think the bachelor bid over to a WB and pretty sure Swayne will be junior manned into one.

Feels a bit like if you risked your life plotting and planning to escape east Germany in 1988. You finally, barely, escape with much fear and anxiety after years of being trapped and the very next year people are just walking across the border.
Good for all though and good for Swayne.

Will he be continuing his videos now that he is at United? Or will they stop because he made it to a legacy? I wonder what kind of deal he signed with AA/Envoy and if United would entertain something similar…
He got the triple. The bottom 13 in the class had only the 756, 777, and 787 left to bid from.
I look forward to the video on commuting to global reserve/landings sims every 90
feel bad for these kids, really not going to get any stick time outside of IOE

I don’t think they could care any less. I wouldn’t. At ALL.
I thought I would be that way, but not flying for 7 mo during covid was a bit of a forced perspective
GA scratched the itch a little bit, but I realized that I do actually like stick wiggling on occasion.
on occasion
(these 90hr lines are also not very chill)

Have you seen his videos? Dude likes to work, he isn’t the pilot type that enjoys not touching an airplane for 5 months. Lol. To each their own, I don’t want to sit at home that long either. Maybe a couple weeks. But I also don’t want to work unless it’s Hawaii or Latin America
