If you want a line stay in IAD. If you want DFW plan on reserve for awhile.

Should've thought about that before going Mesa.

Haha, well, I'll gladly concede you're senior in the regional world. Not something to be proud of.

Considering I got hired right before one of the worst economic crashes this country has ever seen and have never been furloughed, I'm doing alright. Plus I'll be over at AA relatively soon with a 30 plus year career over there if I want. I'd say I'm doing justttt fine

The point is, you went to Mesa...the biggest and most well-known bottom feeder out there. So quit your beaching, you knew what you signed up for.

In iFlyRC's defense, and I say this because we are of similar seniority...when we were hired, there weren't many other options to go to. The flood gates had not yet opened. In my case, I needed a job and Mesa gave me one. Its just that simple. I had the opportunity to bail out around a year in to a "better" regional, but I stuck it out, upgraded, and am now positioning myself to move on to the next step. I know he is too. This career is what you make of it, Mesa isn't great...but its worked out for me so far. That being said, I am aggressively trying to move on. Everyone's goal in life are different...you shouldn't judge people on the road the chose to get there. Just my .02.

I wish, he could help get me into AA after his 18 year flow works out.
