I just don't get why the LCC guys take it personally. Don't try and act like it's not. None of the legacy guys are saying you guys can't have a great career at Sprit or Frontier! What's annoying is the subtle jabs you guys give about how there are "dark times ahead but the ULCC's were built for these times"

Yeah, apparently. At least this time it was.
This thread is about helping people make a career choice. I feel like it's worth noting how much better the ULCCs fared. The Gov't bailed out the airlines this time, but there's no guarantee they will next time. Just something to consider for people making career choices.
Also, I feel like making the point again that to those who fear the Gov't is going to somehow put the airlines out of business for environmental reasons, you got to see and appreciate that the same govt provided multiple massive bailouts to the airlines.

Someone at a corporate gig or a regional should consider all options not just United or Delta.
If you are safely established on the seniority list at UAL/DAL that's great. But this thread is about making a choice if you aren't already there. It shouldn't just be a choice between United and Delta when there are ULCCs out there that are more resilient business models. The only problem with a career at one of them is you get looked down on by guys like you! (Just kidding)

This thread is basically about career advice.
