Just remember this my friend,
What seems like a winning lottery ticket today can quickly turn into a nightmare tomorrow. Do you remember the 90's when LUAL was THE place to be? We had FedEx,CAL, SWA, UPS, and folks from other big airlines coming over in droves. We were the golden child there was no end in sight. It went from the promised land to HE!! in about one years time.
Yes the first step is getting hired. But your initial seniorty number will stick with you for the rest of your life and may well be the difference between nirvana and the 7th ring of airline he!!.
Oh yeah and don't go buying that new house and new car just yet. Put some money in the bank first.
