That’s funny considering this place is light years ahead of any regional. QOL easily one of the best, if not the best, in the industry. No place is perfect but I sure wouldn’t mind if it was my final stop. Now he’s probably begging for an Atlas interview. I feel for all my old co-workers, but that kind of attitude sort of deserves it.

That being said I would like to see every one of my old CPZ friends at NK if I could. Best pilot group out there. Most would make a great addition over here. While also growing our LAS-Compass refugee base.

Maybe it’s because I live in base, but I’d rather work at NK than DAL. Never thought I’d say that either. It’s pretty much SWA but with a 3 year upgrade, and the pilot group is like compass 2.0. The CA on my current trip is 27 and runs a meme page on IG

Well said. Not sure that individual is up too. Probably actually begging for a Spirit interview because Atlas is a "dumpster fire" or whatever. A lot of us have actually been hired at NK, and are shall I say... Stuck waiting for a class date. God only knows how many months that will take.
