Neither is good, but being fired is at least respectable. At any rate, you'll be right back at the beginning interviewing with another airline...if youre lucky.

I have nothing to gain by encouraging you to stay away, just speaking pilot to pilot.

Look elsewhere if you can.
Holy cow. I had no idea things had escalated to that point. I guess I've had my head in the sand lately. Well this is a kick in the gut. I definitely don't want to be a scab so I guess I'll just sit tight where I'm at now and wait for the storm to subside. Thanks for the info.
