Those of us having been in the industry for awhile or at least watched it for a decade or 2 or 3 agree the mentality/intestinal fortitude or really the great gains in opportunities has changed significantly. Remember the days when those with airline aspirations waited for any call from any airline they applied too (at least 3 minimum). When asked which outfit they wanted to work for everyone would answer: “The first one that calls!”

*Now you can choose exactly where you want to live as first priority or jackets no jackets, hats no hats, international or domestic, faster upgrades, better benefits, better layovers, better hotels, better schedules, as mentioned before this list goes on and on. What a great time to be able to get what you want for the most part based on the current hiring demands, etc. and not just waiting for any call comparably speaking. Overall​​​​​, if you can find a no mask airline go on with your bad self and build your best career path like Mr. Potato Head. Amazing opportunities, just saying - Good for y’all!

I wonder if there’s an airline that offers free gum out there, that’s always fun to watch when wearing a mask. At least it’s made chewing tobacco easier to conceal, so some have that going for them which is nice.
