You guys are both right. I will stay 'til I get my PIC time and try to move on. I am getting pretty close to upgrade anyway. I came to ZW with really high hopes and thought that if things don't work out elsewhere I can spend a long time here. I no longer think like that. There seems to be little light at the end of the tunnel.
I grew up in ATW and thought this would be a pretty nifty place.
I also expect a lot of attrition if we don't get that Midwest flying. The company is not serious about growth and has demonstrated that employees' concerns are not their concerns.
Since I have been here they have missed out on a lot of opportunities and have missed every single one. The US Airways thing was an act of desperation that worked out. But they lost United, AirTran (both of which they had and could have kept!) lost Delta, never even were invited to bid at CAL, will probably lose NWA, etc. The boats keep sailing and we keep sitting on the dock watching them sail.
Me, I am moving to DCA, upgrading soon I hope and will enjoy life there!! At least I like DCA and the area there. It is a bit like a mini ORD!
