this is true, but anyone anywhere must consider the definition of stagnant and/or shrinking. Those at XJT struggled with the same decision and still struggle they stayed as long as they did. LCCs for various reasons are not always the most logical next step for all. Surely, be prepared to answer an interview panel IF they ask about a lateral move. However, by this time I’m sure most folks on a panel would be familiar with these situations.
it sucks, but the sooner it’s done the better.
sounds like Mesa has the same problem of being two different airlines depending on the equipment you are on.
