As much as everyone rags on ShyGuy, I will say that I have been reading his posts for a while and caught on to his observations from a year ago. As a relatively junior FO at 9E, I took those warnings seriously and am thankful I did. Although not quite "out of the woods yet", I know that I am extremely fortunate to be in a pool waiting to leave for much greener pastures.


Was it entirely ShyGuy's views that had me "see the light"? Not exactly. There were other people close to me that were highly influential in my decision to start preparing; but my point is that he has been right on many things and for most, that's tough to admit. So for this, I say: thank you ShyGuy.
