I've done that, for almost a decade, and been in the fold to the point of the table, seen reality on the outside, and lived life almong the way. I'm done.
I'll visit from time to time, but the notifications (hey, that's why I'm replying) are now off, and I'm living life as God intended. If we cross paths and you reference me (or anyone does), I'll buy the first round. Life starts when you decide to live it. I've lived through 2 heart surgeries, 6 months of chemo, (in the last 24 months) and 3 years of infertility with the wife. I'm 31, and I thought by being at a regional at 21, with a 4-year degree, was a step to a quick path, but life has its own pace. Enjoy what you have, and make the most of what you know.

If you want to make God laugh, just vocalize your plans. Remember 1 thing- it can always be worse. 6' under is the worst case.

God Speed. If you don't believe in God, well worst case- you could be dead. Done. Love your life and figure out what actually matters, guess what, focus on that. Wish everyone the best.

I think MSP is seeing shrinkage at all regionals except GoJet (*eye roll*). My buddies at SkyWest are saying their flying has started to shrink there too.

If you fly CODs, like your username suggests there is a good chance you will be taking a pay cut. Think about the bonus, you don't have to fly a single flight and you get paid $23K a year. It doesn't matter if you drop, take FMLA or fly the absolute minimum possible you still got the $23K. I don't know why people are looking forward to a possible pay cut.

By converting it to hourly, it now comes out of the bottom line, meaning we won't possibly see a penny more till section 6. The greed of people who have to squeeze every dime out of the system is once again the loudest voice in the room.
