Its just unfair to have a 25 year captain of some big airline loose everything that he worked so hard for. And yes he has no other choice then go and work for a company that is willing to pay 60k/year.
One of the big things that i am looking for going into the field is stability, which there have been none in the past couple of years in the states.
So now the fuel prices gone down, but airlines are still struggling because of airlines such as ALLEGIANT. But that an another topic.
