Not to mention, having a few years at Spirit on your resume was like showing up for an interview with a face tattoo and a nose ring. They knew about the Mack Attack et al., heck, it came out in the Washington Post before our DO found out about it. To answer your question 20-25 years of seniority is just a nice career.

I just read your last sentence and agree under 60? Sure it could.
