If you’re comfortable then stay, but if you want earnings potential JetBlue and Spirit just got some healthy pay raises. I have a friend who had two 121 failures and got a call from one of those as well Frontier.

Food for thought but there seems to be more acceptance of folks with blemishes on their records outside of the big three and Fedex/UPS. SWA, Spirit, JetBlue, Alaska and potentially Frontier would be on my list as well in you position (location depending).

Good luck!
