We all want to work for the best, but sometimes, often, "life" happens. Enjoy what you get stuck with, make the most of it and encourage others when they have opportunities to be better than you. Life is too short.
I don’t judge any of them. I’d hang my shingle too if I were in their situation. The idea of being a legacy NB CA by your early 30’s or a WB FO is fantastic.
I’m tempted to apply myself, but don’t want to be in my 50’s before I break even, and with my luck there’d be a considerable economic correction just as I joined the bottom of someone list.
I only hope that the wild pilot market benefits us at the negotiating table, and that we find ways to take advantage of the regionals slowly cutting service to places as they fight their own staffing wars.
