Your goal is admirable, but if you know what's going on there and the issues that exist, why are you here asking questions? Seems to me you'd be up on things over there............. I think what many here are telling you to do (having been there and done that) is to leave your options open. If you are only willing to fly for one carrier and that carrier never hires again or merges into someone else, you're bound to be disappointed. I think that's what everyone is trying to tell you. You gotta grow thick skin on this board or they'll eat you up.
