Come on. O's all the way up to full bird with a lifetime built cadre of tight connections and squadron buddies at the big 3 pulling for them... Are they really gonna settle down at little ol' F9?
It was a choice between an RJ or an Airbus to get your 121 time. You chose wisely
No "hell" from me, and I've been nothing but honest on this subject with everyone (including the F9 CP)--but that's a drastically oversimplified statement of the facts you've made there. I had every intention of staying at F9 when I started there, and a grand total of three contacts (not highly placed) at the "Big 3." I was annoyed by all the issues others have raised here about pay amount & hassles getting it. I don't think I would have left F9--at least not "easily"--for any airline, legacy or otherwise, besides DL (which had been my first choice all along). As it was, I struggled with the decision to leave (though I have no regrets looking back...).
Now, your last sentence I can get behind--I'm
very glad to have cut my 121 teeth on an Airbus instead of an RJ!
