Hey, not starting a fight but to be clear she is ATC.......just so things are straight. Again not trying to be a jerk but just want to make sure its out there.

I agree MLOA vs PLOA is very very different. 6 or 7 months with 2 months of training puts her out anyway, so why not wait until she can return for good. I know for a fact she would like to return but just not until it makes sense.

To Commuter: I agree with you but don't be so black and white about it. It's been 2 1/2 years for me. I found something that pays better and I have a wedding to pay for in 8 months. I would prefer to stay where I am for another year but thats not going to happen. I am sure alot of others feel the same way. I decided to come back based on the "possible" future at Spirit. This might be an easier decision for some people but not everyone. So please support your fellow pilots in THEIR decision.
