Of those that worked hard to get hired... got offers. Maybe not a legacy but had an opportunity.
I had an offer, but decided to stick around flow as waiting had an ROI in about 4 years from sticking around and than the remaining career... although I would have enjoyed 2.5 years of better QOL and upgrading around now. Did I make the right decision... who knows..
Interesting. Everyone I've met has their apps out it seems. The real wild card seems to be the LCCs, because leaving could mean anywhere from 1 to 4 years of better QoL. I will say that I heard Frontier screwed some guys over. Secondhand info, they hired some PDT guys, they resigned from PDT, then F9 got their new contract and enough guys picked up extra flying to where F9 came back and told the PDT guys that they would have to sit around for a year without pay waiting for training, so they came back to PDT, and PDT did them a solid and put them back on the line with the same seniority they had before. Correct me if you heard a different story
