I basically decided not to decide. I did not put in for a slot and I'm sure I'll stress over it again the next (and probably last) time it comes up (fairly soon I'm guessing). I simply cannot muster the energy and drive to accept another interim job and all of its associated hassles right now.
Funny story, my Mom is on a big spiritual positivity thing right now and has been praying for me, which is great. She called yesterday from the airport where she was going on vacation and had just talked to an AA Captain, telling him how I really would prefer AA and I'm stuck at Eagle, yada yada yada. He tells her I should get out of Eagle and forget about AA, just go to FedEx or UPS so I'll do well enough to retire early and because boxes don't *****. She was so excited and I really felt kinda bad explaining to her that not only is it not that easy but that I don't even qualify to apply after 15 years in the industry!
Oh well, one way or another I'll end up where I'm supposed to be eventually. Hope you get where you need to be soon.
Take care.

I know they are just trying to be helpful. Then I explain that they have over 30,000 resumes and hire a few hundred a year. I bought my lottery ticket last week. Did you?
