Well now there's no place to go, and one would only be marginally better off being junior at a major.. So what's your point? We got played? Ok, whatever you say dude.

Staying was a calculated risk based on what we all knew before corona. I think furloughs will hit many more people. Pretty lame to come on our boards and imply we were dumb for staying. I had reasons to stay and had back up plans in place.. Welp.. None of those assumptions apply now. If I had gone to the first place that called, I doubt I would have been better off. Many of those who left compass right away are all sitting pretty nervous right now. I hope they all make it through without a furlough.

Right now it's all about celebrating what a tight knit, awesome pilot group we had, all the memories we made together, and what it means to have been privileged enough to be part of a special fraternity of pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics who were here from 2014-2020.
