Where that is, I don’t know. Certainly not F9. I’m not saying that it’s not worth going to a legacy, I’m actually desperate to be convinced it still is worth it. Because the idea of staying at F9, or going somewhere where I will never have a chance to upgrade to no fault of my own, is honestly depressing. It’s not what anyone dreams of. Yes I know people have had it worse. It’s not my fault I went straight to an a320, it’s the only choice I had.

Seems a lot of you just want to see those of us trying to claw our way up fail, when all we are wanting to know is if we will have good careers coming to XYZ legacy, or if we should aspire for something else due to the seniority situation.

In the interest of magnanimity, and from someone who got here in his 40s, let me share with you a little gem I picked up from my time in the Balkans (which was plentiful): "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
