It's tougher to hand out the bad deal to the non-team player when nobody is a team player in the first place. Then it just comes down to who has the most ADSC remaining.

I've been out for some time though it seems like it was just yesterday I pulled the trigger. Once you get a little seniority in the airline world, it is so muuuuuch greener on this side of the fence.

Typically Sq/CC and DOs eat/sleep/breath tactics and that's how they shape the sqdn, god forbid you're happy w/your service and want to get out to try something new and hopefully make a lil'more dough for the family.
In 8yrs in this community, i've never known anyone to openly discuss getting out for airlines w/o separation paperwork filed.

Retiree or separatee... it is discussed in the healthy manner that it should be... where intelligent pilots and officers weigh the pros and the cons... and make informed decisions. As someone who went to the airlines and then returned (twice), I was often in these conversations.
If your community doesn't tolerate that, and the CC allows retribution for it, that's a shame.

I'd be willing to bet in today's Big Blue Mother Air Force this type of response from leadership is more common than not. Regardless I couldn't be happier with this side of the fence. The grass is much, much greener.
