How is it more inexcusable? Where do you think the regionals learned their tricks? From their big brothers, the majors.

You shoot holes in every idea someone throws your way.

Your dream job isn't going to fall into your lap, and neither is mine. That's why I left Mesa and moved on, to better my resume and eventually get the job I want.

I could have stayed there and complained, not upgraded, and hit the top of the F/O pay scale, but I got sick of it and bailed. I've never been happier.

Will you upgrade in the next 2 years at Piedmont? You likely would at Compass (key word likely).
