Sure, some may have found a wonderful corporate position and I am happy for them. Lets not forget that NJA still offers a very nice quality of life.

You don't know what you have until it is gone.

Very true... I was guessing that maybe 200 guys may have found work at JB, SWA, good corporate, something other than aviation, upgrade at places like Kalitta, or retied altogether..... JB alone had to take maybe 20 guys? And possibly more by 2014 (along with SWA/DELTA??hopefully)

I will return just for the basing. I make more flying maybe 30 hrs a month and being home every night now. But don't want to live where we are at forever.
