But I make good money as is, enjoy the variety of flying that United offers..
The flip side is that those joining the bottom of the 20k pilot list don’t feel comfortable at all, so I can see why some might seek alternatives. You guys hired in the foggy mirror era get the benefit of never having to worry about furloughs. The rest of us absolutely do have to factor that.
