Are you really a 9 year FO? Do you see an upgrade in your future? What are your goals with Comair? Are you achieving them? How is it working out?

I'm not trying to be an a**, but really... Consider those questions, because future employers will ask you each one of them. The one that will have them more curious is "knowing what we know, why did you choose to put up with the lashings for that long?" "We've heard so many people took a buyout, so did you ever consider one after you got downgraded?" "No.. Well why not?"

I guess if you have a good explanation for that then you are fine. And I'm sure there isn't a good reason to stick around, but I just don't see how anyone could say that reason is a silver lining.
