there is only one problem with the “history” part. We haven’t seen hiring like this in decades. I’m not even sure the rapid expansion of the airlines at the start of the jet age seen such a brisk hiring environment so this isn’t a comparable time. Could there be a major economic crash and a furlough. Sure, but it would probably be short lived. The shape of the economy right now, in reality the airlines should be in a down turn “ (I think that is what franke and Barry are/were gambling on) but they aren’t. Bookings and pax loads are going strong. If you have more then 15 years left and you don’t really want to spend it at a ulcc. It’s time to bail. Get the seniority now.
