I credit an ExpressJet Captain I met at a bar in New Orleans while on a trip at my previous company as the reason I chose to fly Part 121. He was a lifer but he had “17 days off a month and making 6 figures”. At that time for what I was doing that sounded like hot s5it to me. Sign me up.
I hope for nothing but the best for all of you. I know there are a lot of platitudes being thrown around. But this really is awful to see. You guys were recognized for being a top notch airline and the pilots you’ve produced for the industry are some of the best.
