But that's just me. Maybe I'm a tad bit too pollyanna.
This post is worth its weight in gold. This is a pilot who gets it. We all should be hoping for no cuts at any mainline so that people can move up. I don't have a dog in this fight anymore, but all you youngn's should be more excited to get a job at a mainline rather than hoping you fly to BWI, LGA, etc. which should support mainline service.
