T,
I am not quite sure about that. Of all the guys I know that left, only one even ponders if he should have stayed at DAL. The others don't even look back.
DAL is still one of the better airlines to work. We have a pretty good opportunity for some substantial gains and changing employers is like changing lanes in a traffic jam - what looked so promising can turn sour very fast.
All of that said, I think the important point is that people are in fact leaving DAL. This was totally unheard of prior to 911. This is no longer the DAL of old.

PS - Totally agree with your "Anus" of the earth comment. With very few exceptions (Like you need 100K for Vito the loan-shark ASAP
) , life is too short to spend part of it in that region.
