At the very least a few hours in the gym, on a hiking trail or in the water doing something exhausting make it feel like not so much of a swim in the sewer when contemplating where UCH has crept. Best case, time well spent with friends and loved ones sure does put some perspective into things.
Here's to moving forward for everyone.

Fantastic. A Capt I recently flew with stated the highlight of his career so far was having Leslie Neilsen stick his head in the pit during boarding and deliver that quote.
These merger threads could use more philosophy and less analysis and speculation. Regardless of what I thought in the past, I was NEVER going to retire at Continental. Regardless of what late 90s UAL hires thought, their careers were NEVER going to start off rosy. Regardless what CAL strikers thought in the opening days in '83, that self-help effort was NEVER going to end well. You can go on and on...
A true measure of one's character is not the cards they are dealt, it is how they play those cards. The deck has just been re-shuffled, and we are all about to get our next hand dealt. How we decide to play it is akin to how we decide to spend the remaining years we have in our uniforms, with our families, and on this planet. Happiness is our own responsibility.
