I'm running into guys who left 20 year ago.
One guy, a UAL F/O wishes he'd never left.
One guy got furloughed by the same major - twice. He was literally an OO new-hire three times.
Another guy is a wide-body F/O. He could easily be a narrow-body captain but still wouldn't hold weekends off.
Everyone I know who went to SWA is happy there and making good money. I often ask them what there are doing next weekend - invariably, it's working.
Most of the guys I know that were unhappy here are unhappy elsewhere too”
Newsflash. I’ve NEVER met anyone from UA, DL, SWA or the bigger cargo carriers who think they make a mistake leaving. Crock of shjt. They guy that posted that is essentially unhirable anyway as he’s a miserable SOAB.
I'm not a "lifer", but where's it written that regional pilots MUST go to mainline? At the end of the day, it's just a damn job. If pilots want to stay where they're at, then that's their business. Who cares? What other career or job out there always expects people to move on? None really, but for some reason, high and mighty "fellow" aviatiors always make time to criticize career decisions of others.
