At the time I was applying to the majors (end of 2011), Delta was not hiring. No pilot would be stupid enough to pin all hopes on just one airline which wasn't even hiring. I therefore applied to the only majors hiring at that moment in time: Spirit and VX. Who knows what the future will bring but I have zero regrets. Sham LCC? Make sure you write to your local Congressman about that one!

I say good for her, and I sincerely mean that. We all have dreams and aspirations, and we all follow different paths. Some of us are dealt a better hand. That's just the way it is. It is important to look at ourselves with pride. I started flying in the mid 90s and have had my share of fights and struggles to get my dream job. For 20 years I was hopping for the day I would receive an employement letter at DAL. I finally did two days ago (Late Oct interview for your information;-)). But I would trade all this experience for nothing. It is this path we take which ultimately brings about a certain maturity and humility. Experience shifts paradigms. Mine made me more patient, enlightened, empathetic and aware.
By the way, the youngest captain I flew with, at my current company, is 33 years old....on a Boeing 777. I said to him "Good for you, enjoy, and be thankful", and I meant it.

Lol. So now serving as a flight attendant is more important than flying in the military? She was hired because she meets the competitive minimums for a female which unfortunately is a different set of competitive minimums for a male. The competitive minimums for both sexes are well above the job qualifications. It is what it is. Good for her.
