Had dinner yesterday with an American Airlines pilot friend of mine. It is truly dire just how archaic and repressive our RP's are by comparison...and i'm talking about the present ones, never mind what this misguided company has in store for the future. If you can leave...leave. Wish I was 15 years younger...
(oh, and during dinner, he logged onto his company website, dropped two trips off his August schedule and then picked up two better trips, giving himself an extra 4 G days in a row in the bargain...all without speaking to a single soul).
