As the saying goes, I’ll never know if any of my decisions were good ones until the day I retire! As much as people love to wave their dongs around on this board, it’s generally dumb luck how things actually shake out.

Agreed, this is far from over and we have yet to feel any of the real aftershocks economically, GDP, etc. Stimulus, Cares Act, Unemployment, Businesses which have faded away, new Business models all aside from the virus itself will be true impacts coming down the road. International impact abroad is a whole different ball game. Just keep swimming and hope the right current comes along. If you’re still afloat and the current is good at this juncture, no sense jumping ship as life boats are scarce at this point.

So what are you going to do in an economic downturn when the passenger airlines are struggling? Will you want to leave them also? So is your reason for leaving the recent earnings issues or are you not happy with the lifestyle? I think you need to differentiate what it is thats driving your questions.
Remember when I posted this. History always repeats in this industry. Looking at the normal negative blowhards comments on this thread from months ago such as “bus” and “toolbox” just crack me up how they have aged. They are always wrong it seems on every topic.

Funny, first time I’ve ever been called a blowhard.🤣. It looks like my concern (for now), was misplaced, thankfully. Not quite sure what, exactly, I’m wrong on otherwise, but if so, I am more than willing to admit it.

It is amazing how quickly pilots tend to forget that. It makes sense for people with a strong internal locus of control and there is no doubt achieving a ‘good’ airline job requires hard work and dedication, but what happens to the company after you get there is almost entirely out of your hands.

It must be so frustrating for you to always be the smartest guy in the room.
