Think it is going to be ok. Aware of opinions on on both sides expressed by friends on both sides with varying degrees of intensity. And even those impacted the most seem to be in the lets move forward mode. Like WK this is my second career, and am here by choice as am blessed to have other options. Bottom line is nothing I have seen yet makes me doubt my constantly growing conviction that barring an apocalyptic financial or world event, that this is the place to be as a new hire. With relatives in industry(whose warnings partly led me to stay in first career) and almost all my friends being airline pilots, know the danger of high expectations.
But flying newer airplanes for decent pay and 4-500 retirements a year will make it easier to drink free beers no matter how bitter the Captain is...or isn't.
Looking forward.
