not too long ago, you were considering making the switch, until one of your buddies 'opened your eyes'. make sure you send that guy a bottle of single malt for steering you in the right direction. if he's got any portfolio advice, send it my way.

gojet may leave a lot to be desired, but trans states does as well. the performance is typically horrible, the pilots are miserable, captains have been downgraded, FO's hired in 2007/8 are still on reserve, and some are on their way to a second furlough at what was supposed to be an entry level 121 job. i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that gojet is probably a more pleasant place to work, despite the union's failure to effectively lead.

be a man and stop being so emotional with your decisions. you might be happier.
