Commuting to fly for Hulas doesnt keep a lot of people happy. We're all on the same page, I wouldve been a captain for Hulas long ago, but I know I'm happier at Skywest and not commuting anymore, left seat or not.. and I dont think I'm rationalizing.. Just wondering if your concerned about something like that.. what happens if you can't just "gtfo" as you so eloquently put it..
Yeah, I'm a little concerned about having to be here 8 or 9 years before moving on. But my goal is to be at x, y, or z airline...and as I saw it TSA is the best place to be to get there asap. If it doesn't work out like that, or I get stuck at TSA for a long time, or TSA closes its doors in a few years then so be it. I'm young and I'll have time to recover. All anyone can do is spend some time analyzing their situation and go with what they believe is the best for them and their family.
