Your average panel interview lasts about ten minutes, if that.

You don't want to come across as bitter. It's the kiss of death.

I could see a question like: "You've been there for X years. Why are you looking to move on now?" That's your opportunity to hint, obliquely, at the fact that the opportunities you'd hoped to see never quite materialized, that you flew with some great people and had some great experiences and will always be grateful, but the time finally came to make the hard decision to move on, for your sake and your family's, etc.

Believe it or not, most people could give .02 about what's happening at Flex/Flops. All they really care about is you.

You might want to invest in some interview prep once you get the call ...
I get there won't be any questions about it. But just having Flexjet as an employer will be a minus. Union leaders and volunteers are well aware of this assault on collective bargaining. I get comments in the terminal when I'm air lining, and my friends are asking me questions about how this could be. So you can't say this isn't on the radar.
