The title of this thread illustrates just how emotionally driven all of this is. Just chill everyone, be glad you’re here.
As a side note I think it’s funny when an outsider pops in here and criticizes us for working here. Or worse acts as if we’re here bc we have to be. They have no concept of what it was like here preCovid. Small pilot group, lots of flying and very few people not picking up open time for 200/300%. I for one am glad I’m here and didn’t go to my “first” choice.
Well said, I had 4 regional offers and went to Mesa for the bonus, short reserve time, fast upgrades, 200/300% time and the base/equipment of my choice guaranteed. All while still being Aviate qualified.
Sucks that I was days from being safe before Covid furloughed me.
