That was about as fair and reasonble as it gets. We've crossed paths on this forum many times. Perhaps even met in person unknowingly. I left for a legacy 121. I only forced myself to move on for a few QOL items and financials. Was getting burned out and wanted shorter trips. Culturally I fit in very well; I was forgiven for my mistakes even as a junior captain; Loved the individuals I met along the way and around CGF, VP's down to day 1 customer reps.
I've sometimes wondered if Kenn is comparing the modern Flexjet to what he went through/saw as a corporate pilot decades ago. By that metric Flexjet is heaven. But compared to modern standards, QOL expectations/needs, retirement, etc, still far behind. Either way, through countless conference calls there seemed to be some major disconnects with reality even as improvements were announced.
I cannot overstate how refreshing it is to be able to bid reserve, or bid a line; pick up trips or drop trips; sit at home, drive to my airplane, etc. I would imagine it will be similarly good for your unicorn 91 gig. Even if I get furloughed, politely moving on from Flexjet was the right move. I'm guessing our exit interviews read similarly. Part of me misses it, part of me can't imagine going back to the workload.
