A ton of guys, except for those hired right at the beginning of the wave in their early 20's, would've been money ahead going to a LCC.
Another moral is once hired on, don't move on, stick it out. You never know what the future will bring.
I know me personally I would feel a lot more secure at a Spirit or jetBlue than I would at any legacy carrier. In bad times the LCCs will still make money where as the legacies will bleed.
Youre at a legacy now and you'd feel better at Spirit? I hear what youre saying about the greener grass and the disasters of the past, but an LCC over any legacy with all those retirements?
Are you advising guys with a choice of DAL/AA/UAL/, to take an LCC?
Thats just bad advice at the present time. Its fear based.
