CMEL, got cocky, messed something up on something. What I learned, complacency kills. Everyone does dumb things.
Btw I didn’t just get to Mesa. But, back in 07 ish, jobs were very scarce, I’m surprised it took airlines as long as it did to furlough. I ended up working in the restaurant industry, because psych majors weren’t much sought out for. Soon after I went the military route, mostly because you almost had to be a military pilot to get an airline job. The recent hiring boom was very abnormal, that’s why I jumped on it. The economy was so bad, it took what like 4 years to start seeing reductions in unemployment. And how many countless pilots never returned to the industry after being furloughed? I don’t think this “recession” compares to it, because fundamentally our economy is strong. I believe it will pass. Trust me, you don’t wanna go on unemployment. It’s not fun.
