I wouldn't bail on VX until you have a SWA class date. And that's CLASS DATE not interview. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I think the decision was made for me. I already interviewed for the second time this month. My board is on the 6th I believe and none of my references have been called while others in my group have had theirs called.

I guess I will stick it out at Vx a while longer. It is a pretty good gig after all.

Well, keep trying. It appears the Majors are entering a huge hiring cycle. And, its GREAT to be on the front of the wave.

Left VX for NK earlier this year and have not regretted it for one second. It was not a difficult decision. The financial facts and the stagnation are right in front of you.

You speak the truth, however, if they enter a massive growth phase in the next 2-5 years, times will be interesting. If they stay the current path, may I perhaps inquire if the Airbus type is helpful at NK?
