1. Stay in for another 4 years,
2. Take the money,
3. Take half of found money and put into account never to be seen again
until eventually hired at major, then you won't be hurting first year,
4. While your waiting get an advanced degree unrelated to aviation,
5. Take some of the other half of found money and take wife and kids on
vacation - maybe parents too, they can help watch kids,
6. Don't worry about hiring waves - it all depends on the company - trust
me, you won't miss anything,
7. Eventually when you do get hired, vote NO on any contracts, at least
first time around,
8. Don't believe anything, and I mean anything airline management has to
say - they are all liars!
9. Don't forget to support your local O'Club.
This is an abbreviated list.
