For me it was the decision to be near the bottom of a a small 737 airline w/ 4 years Sen or return w/ 10 years to DAL and have more opportunities down range.
Happy TG to all - I'll be in Central America as my 13+ years can't hold Holidays off.
Baja.
I agree with TS. I think these guys just found something better.
I came from the military and had very little interaction with people who had what we would call regular jobs. Once I was at DL I saw there were a lot of ways to make money.
We have a good job but not a great job. I have been lucky in when I was hired so I haven't been furloughed, but I always said that flying is not the only thing I could do. Perhaps that is what these guys have done.
