I understand that you want to defend your new employer so that you feel better about your decision to move on. Really, I do. But the two situations simply do not compare. That is all. People being flown into buildings with the world watching (followed by several
major carriers declaring bankruptcy) is a bit more catastrophic than "my regional airline isn't making enough money this year".
Technically you're deflecting because you chose not to answer his question.
Alright, this got way too far away from the original point, it was stated that I work for a wo that should have stuck it to the man when economic times were tough, so I went back with a sarcastic counter that why didn't awac stick it to the man when the times were tough then. Each company signed their concessions for their reasons and during their own economic hardship.I wasn't comparing what time was harder on the airlines. Both had lasting effects. I wasn't two when 9/11 happened and I come from a aviation household, I remember those nights at the dinner table with my folks with my dad wondering what his future was gonna lay out for him.
