I just cringed inside and said “for sure, I agree, do what you feel is best”. This person was scheduled to flow within 3 months of the restart and is now leaving for Spirit.

To be clear, I am not knocking Spirit or any of the aforementioned carriers at all, I have friends at each who love it. I know they’re good and pay is good.
