Two of my uncles got me into flying. One flew here for 25 years and retired one summer afternoon at 62 when he didn't feel like flying anymore. The other is still at United, has been furloughed twice and will be there until 65 due to the set backs financially in said furloughs. The one at Purple told me to always see the forest through the trees in this industry. The one at United chased payrates. Where'd that get him?When one airline seems to be the best, the next best contract is right around the corner. Be engaged, support your NC.
