Timing is important but it isn't everything. I could have gone to VX and some of my FOs and others from the regionals did. It's a choice. The excuse of "no one but VX was hiring" is poor at best and you know it. The marketable and able bodied were getting hired at more desirable airlines, hence the word "undesirables". Regardless of how and why you ended up at VX, it matters no more. This discussion is about windfall and VXers got a big one.
