If you truly cared about flight safety, wouldn't you want to hire someone with that kind of experience?
My opinion only... A guy who jumped ship and took the bonus, now wants another career. That's even worse than hiring a guy on furlough or currently still working for a legacy. Atleast the other 2 have to give up something to work for us. This guy just puts his 1.2 mil lump sum in the bank and comes to work for us. Not gonna happen.....
