I’ll stay at my current carrier over United and the direction management is steering the company. They’re going to miss out on a lot of quality candidates that would have otherwise preferred united. Hard to watch from the outside.

For Kirby to really take as long as this to really get a deal done says to me on the outside considering united that they care more about their bottom line than making their pilots happy, proud and shown to be valued as the best pilots in the world.
