My soon to be ex boss.
Tell him I have an offer, but am willing to see what they can offer (work for oil company).
Get an earful about how I'm making the biggest mistake of my life, not even knowing what job I was offered, where, or for how much money.
Then he cancels my 3 weeks paid time off that I already had in, pre other offer, that I was going to go to Higher Power and get my 737 type with.
I guess he just made that choice for me.

Now, you probably don't want to carry your Regional title when you move on to the Majors, but when you earn the fourth stripe at your current employer, you earn the right to be addressed as "Captain".
In the case of a scab like Mr. Green, that theory might not apply.

4) OPP
5) Definition 2d here. Tool - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
