Don't act like you are wiser, safer or luckier than us because
I never said any of those things. I only maintain that a regional should not be a final career stop unless one was a mid-life career changer to a regional. No one is safe in the aviation industry, that is true just by definition of what the aviation industry is today.
Wrong. Take a look at my previous post. A guy hired in 1997 pretty much hit the perfect storm. 9/11, age 65, oil through the roof in 07/08.
What about the hiring cycle of 2003-2007? Pinnacle had many pilots escape to Airtran, Southwest, Delta, in this timeframe. In fact, within 2003-2007, everyone except AA was hiring.
But that's okay. You are the "Seer of all Seers, the Knower of all things, the Virgin of all pilots." For your sake, (truly) I hope Virgin takes off and you can thump your chest and tell us all how smart you were. But beware, the next bad thing is just around the corner, and now that you are the FNG at a dicey upstart, you will be the first to be furloughed. Sir Richard is a genius, but part of being smart is knowing when to fold.
Hate much? I write a simple opinion and you go off the ledge? Don't worry about me, I won't worry about you.
