Just curious there Luv.....have you ever examined the seniority of the top A330/B767 pilots in the right seat in PHL and CLT? Many of them are senior to Trader. Are they afraid to upgrade too?
I think not. Just comfortably enjoying the quality of life their bid position affords until they can hold something decent as a Captain.
Similarly, you and others chip on him because he had a father who happened to be a Captain at Piedmont. The East list especially at the top is filled with names of pilots who's Daddy happened to be a pilot or other employee that may or may not have helped their son or daughter get a job here. Prior to the new world order of HR/political correctness, that's the way things were done. Got them in the door, but then they had to compete on the interview/screening process like everybody else.
Your schtick is getting old, try to come up with some fresh material!
