Depends on your definition of SOL. I’d argue that by having no internals prompting AS to never call you would be a massive stroke of luck. Go to an airline that’s a good place to work. Haven’t you learned anything on this thread lol?

Just go if it’s so bad… 2nd year pay at UA/DL is equal to our 3rd year and only climbs from there. Really no excuse to not leave if it’s so awful.

Much easier to hire an Allegiant, Sun Country, maybe Spirit and all RJ types...The cute little “dust of the old suit” “sharpen up the resume” colloquialisms are tiring and demonstrate considerable ignorance...This is not to say that a person shouldn’t try.

Wrong. People routinely leave for Delta, UA, and AA. Happened weekly pre pandemic, and is definitely going to gear up again now.
