I know guys around my seniority who weren't comfortable at TWA then and went elsewhere. I know a few who went to USair. Did they make the right decision? Some went to SWA. They probably think they're genious's.
EagleDriver, glad you're happy at Eagle.

Glasspilot,
OK, you're an '88 hire at TWA, which means for some reason you could not or did not get hired at AA (which was hiring 100/mo), or UAL (100/mo) or Delta (50-80/mo) or even SWA/FedEx/UPS or any of the other companies that had much brighter prospects in 1988.
Why did you go to TWA in '88 and more importantly, once you built up some jet time at TWA, WHY DID YOU STAY when many observant and astute fellow TWA'ers left the sinking ship?
