thanks Stinsonjr.. I've read it.. and many like it. I'm able to hang on and dream, but I've got a wife and kids that are not so willing. I've turned down dream interviews with Emirates and Etihad, and less dreamy interviews with Indian and Chinese airlines that I would have otherwise taken as a single man.. But I agree, it's as bad as it's going to get now, so we'll just have to wait and see what's next.
