I think there are some great posts; from both sides of the aisle, so to speak.

Timing is EVERYTHING! It's also crucially important, in the long run, to go to work for a carrier that will survive. The thing is, what looks like the "best carrier" today likely will not be in a few years.

Having said all that, on a "good day" it's one of the best jobs in the world. The whole industry tends to ebb and flow (like a sine wave) and hopefully soon we all will be on the up swing again.

Whatever your decision, I wish you Godspeed.
