I was hoping United could get me started sooner than later. I know other guys have been waiting on class dates for a while.

My concern is that, all it takes is for something in the Middle East to pop off or another black swan event and then all of us who got hired this past year are on the chopping block. If this was 2022/2023 again and things were moving, I think the risk would be less, but the hiring environment has changed and it’s a different decision today than it was a year or two ago.

is it still worth it? That I’m honestly not sure. Life is just different when you have responsibilities. I’m not 23 anymore with no kid. I also don’t want to work my whole life trying to climb the ladder. Definitely a tough decision.
