I didn't intend on leaving, but the merged list doesn't look good and neither does their merger history. A mainland move would not be an issue.
How old are you? Theres a few popsts about it on here but long story short is the company plans to hire 2000+ pilots a year for the forseeable future. The stated goal is to grow from our current 16k to a 28,000 pilot seniority list by 2030. Most here don't believe we will hit that (shocking I know), but even if we end up with *only* growing by 7-10,000 it shows you that there is plenty of room for growth and a stable career. Yeah maybe you won't retire in the top 1%, maybe not quite hold WBCA, but still have a solid seniority %, a good schedule, and be furlough proof.
