I’m sorry to your troubles fishn.
I’m also sorry to inform you that you will no longer be permitted to continue in this profession. The icing on the cake is that some of your “union brothers” will publicly delight in your personal and financial misery. You’ve probably already read their elated posts about moving up seniority numbers and purging the selfish who must find other employment. You might get a bit of a pass from them because you didn’t reference your faith or American values - they truly hate those words.
I hope you feel blessed that you are made of better stuff than these psychos that cheer the financial ruin of their union brethren. Maybe we can talk about cool planes sometime, because that is supposed to be a better alternative than complaining.
I can tell that you will be content in your decision and things will work out for you - hopefully here. God bless you.
