Totally agreed... was the guy BY that you speak of? I guess the pull down this time was what finally did them in. They've always had cycles of hiring and furloughing, but I guess this and the "investment" company that had bought them finally did them in.
As upset as I was at them missing me on that interview call (after which the DO called and profusely apologized and said I would be first up in the next round, which he did follow through with... super super nice guy), I figured another door may open up. Flying the MD-11 would have been fun, though. (someone go check up on Bucking Bar after the seizure he just entered reading that)
