It's ironic that I decided to stay with F9 rather than go to a legacy as a furlough risk mitigation strategy. I thought I'd rather have a job working in dysfunction than get furloughed at some huge legacy. Good airplanes, good crews, I live in base. Guess, in hindsight that may not have been such a great move.
Well, as long as the executives and owners are making out like bandits, I suppose all is well. Economics are for smart people like Bill Franke and Barry Biffle. Everything will be ok.
