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.
I get where you are coming from, but this just seems silly. I will venture a guess that there isn't a hiring board out there that would view a candidate's decision to not take a buyout negatively.
I don't intend to impugn your decision to take the buyout, but how has it worked out for you? I never had the opportunity to take a buyout and probably would not have. I had many chances to leave early, but I never did. I left when the time was right; I chose to use Comair as long as I needed them.
