The thought of him not even applying - even in the slight down tick we're in now - just really stood out. That's all.
I could have provided more context to my statement. If you had asked me a year ago if I would consider going to the airlines, I would have said no. I never really thought it was something I would consider, but life and family needs changed, which is why I am where I am now. When I started to consider applying, I figured I wouldn't be competitive enough and have to spend some time at a regional first. Again, I'm grateful to be in a position to have this opportunity. Ultimately, it was a mentor who told me, "Don't self-eliminate."
