Well, I was you one strike and one merger ago. What you are going to find is you left a world that was run by and for pilots (to a large extent). Now you're in a world run by lawyers for investors and you are just another cost item, no different than the tires.

After that........we still fly airplanes, drink beers in exotic locations and give each other a hard time over just about anything. It's the world best job but the world's shi**iest career.

Welcome abord!!
