Left after 4 years and 2 days. Thanks for the extra 401k $ to bring with, Ted!
In all seriousness, while I’m at my dream carrier now, it’s def bitter sweet. I got hired at the perfect time at NK and enjoyed senior FO for a vast majority of my time there.
Ultimately I just couldn’t see the new Blue being some massive player in ORD (even possibly DTW). I just don’t see where they are going to get gates. We have 4. Blue has literally 1 MAYBE 2. Hell they might even share one with Alaska…
Between United/AA and good lord Delta has like 11 or 12 now in T5, it’s just hard to envision ORD is going to be a big part of it all.
Still have almost 30 years left. It sucks for sure cuz I didn’t hate it. I absolutely despised where I left to come to Spirit, but this is the first time ever it left and been a bit sad. Oh well.
Ive got a lot more options and variety now in flying and what I want to do and try so that will be cool. But I’ll be a sad for a bit lol.
