Oh, I'm here ACL and Forgot. I was in bed with my wife at the time you asked.
As for today's momentous occasion, I am driving to AUS to commute on JB so I can watch the game in flight.
Let me leave you with a little song. Beer and FTB know the tune.
War Chicken fall on the field
Never to conquer, always to yield!
Then there is my favorite
Rama Jama Yella Hammer
Give 'em Hell Alabama
Bar, can I crash at your place next Saturday?

You know I love ya dearly man......and I'm not trying to pi$$ ya off, so I'm really doing the big brother with his arm around your shoulder thing here.
But, that is BS. The military moved some of us on here about every 3 years. I used to whine about it till I talked to a salesman neighbor who moved a lot more that that. Shoot, family drama just blasted me out of DFW after 13 years.
So........that doesn't wash. Did I want to work for NWA? No, I'm a southern boy and I didn't really know who they were.....and Minnesota??But, my choices were just as limited as your's in '95 and I took the first dance offered. Most of us do..........
As an old guy used to tell me at breakfast club when I was whinning about the bankruptcy and then the merger, we have the best job in the world but it is still why they call it work.......cuz it's work.
Beer's on your Uncle Ferd anytime my friend! Cheer up, I was in DTW when it was the OLD terminal.

All days lead from one day, that much you should know....you can't change what's over but only where you go. Enya

...The "peace conference" of the mob bosses in Godfather I, with the various bosses, Nuguy, johnso, capn, Nosmo, superpilot, etc. gathered around.....and with Bar as Vito Corleone and New as Bruno Tattaglia.....Bar: "New lost in the SLI...... and I lost in the SLI....but I still fly a good position here.... and if I should find myself... displaced to MSP DC-9B in the wintertime..... or if I 'accidentally' mis-bid and find myself in the right seat of an MD-88 on an early morning launch out of EWR....I'm going to blame some of the people in this room....and that, I do not forgive....."

Fly - there were no offers better than Delta when I hired in. FedEx would have required a move.
The question is whether there is a offer better than a job NWA pilots bypassed. The question involves the forced relocation to a inferior position by a NWA pilot who desires to take my job.
If you ask the right question, the answer is "certainly." I never applied to NWA. That wasn't accidental.
There's a lot of luck involved in this business. It is what it is. It sure isn't status quo.
Unfortunately, I'm junior to almost everybody so I can't help you out there.

It was TIC, and I hope no one actually quits - I think they would regret that decision for the rest of their lives.
Ask anyone in this biz if it's what they signed up for 10, 15, or 20 years ago. It is what it is and rememberer the "grass is always greener over the septic tank"
If you end up this way I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how good the QOL is and what your juniority will get you.
