    Honestly, I can't even imagine working 15 days/month at the airline.  Homie do play that game...12 days is about my max.  Much prefer to be down around 6-9.  In base reserve or line holder, dropping trips is where it's at.  Life's too short to be working that much, especially at our pay rates. 

    Ding Ding....to each their own but when you hit a certain age (as I have), you begin to realize that QOL is way more important that the almighty dollar.  My colleagues look at me aghast when I tell them I'm happy working 2-4 days for the airlines per month.  But what about all that money you're giving away??  My answer, don't need it, not gonna take it with me, don't have 3 ex wives, no loans/mortgages, no boats/airplanes, nest egg is built, etc etc.  This is where I differ from the "norm" IMO.  In that I mean my time spent w/ friends/family and doing hobbies that I may not be able to do when I'm 55-65 are the priority.

    Maybe the rest of you are comfortable with a blatant violation of a direct order that doesn't even involve injecting yourself with a vaccine.

    I just had a flashback of circa '04 at the Deid w/ reflective belts/cargo shorts in the chow hall and other such orders which I apparently blatantly "violated" Lol

    UAL still has about 75 non-members that crossed the picket line in the CAL strike, and around 7 that crossed the UAL picket line in '85. 
     

    The last one retires in 2028. 
     

    The rest of the 14,000 pilots are ALPA members. 

    Good lord, I thought they were "mostly" gone.  Didn't know we had that many currently

    However, an American governor sending them elsewhere to an area that has extreme winters and terrain, intentionally, is inhumane.

    Wtf, is this Red Dawn we're talking here?  Like these migrants would be thrown to pasture in the 'extreme terrain/harsh climate'...  Come on
