I feel the pain of y'all facing a base closure. There's nothing that can be said or done to make y'all feel better. I get it. But here's the deal boys 'n girls. Y'all opted to work for a startup airline that chose domiciles in the two of the busiest and competitive airports-SFO and JFK. It was definitely not modeled after the more successful airlines like WN. Y'all mean to tell me that you didn't see the writing on the wall? Most intelligent folks I know research a company before they park themselves, especially in the airline world. Yeah yeah, I get it....you go with the airline that hires you first, furloughed and no one was hiring, you're on your fifth+ airline, yada yada yada. Not all but some (many on this forum) of y'all VXers are undesirables in this line of work for one reason or another and they seem to be the most vocal. Everyone has an opinion but from what I've seen the sharp, motivated, and marketable pilots end up at career airlines, and not some stepstone two bit operation. Instead of thumping your chests and telling the universe how great y'all are and how hip and awesome VX was (the key word here is "was" boys 'n girls), how about y'all own up to yourselves. I get a good laugh when some of y'all make your case against winning the jackpot or the huge windfall y'all got. The only case you have against the eskimo is the fact that our work rules suck. True, it's a mega regional but what does that make what was once Virgin America? Once again, better to sitting at FL350 than on a street corner.
