After the collapse of Swissair in 2001 and the re-incarnation of the company as SWISS Int. a lot of guys were furloughed. I was over there last week and talked to a guy who has 18 years of seniority and just now is getting close to the upgrade on the 320. He is right seat on the A340 at the moment.
I am 'swimming in the pool' over there if I want it. But I am taking it easy for the moment.
But don't mistake my sticking with AWAC for the moment with being content at AWAC. Nothing could be further from the truth.
To get back to the point, the DCA commute is not bad. But it is very expensive to live here. I'll be moving out and just crashpadding it in the future. Unless you can afford it, it's no fun. Too bad, because otherwise it could be a nice area. Lot's of 'talent' if you know what I mean!!!

More or less, this would be less of "a quick upgrade" kind of thing and more of "an increase in QOL" kind of thing...

Did you hear the story of the 7xxx CA at Wiskey that left to be a FO at Skywest just so he wouldn't have to commute from Denver?

SkyWest seems to have taken a pretty good foothold in the midwest and west coasts. Probably only a matter of time until they hit the east coast as well...
