I don’t want to have to make a decision until I know for sure this thing isn’t happening and don’t want to burn a bridge at United if I’m not ready. Also don’t want to wait until everything and their mother floods out of here.

With this type of depression maybe you shouldn’t be at the controls? Seek out professional help quick

i get what you’re saying. I’m not wanting to go. If the merger is approved I’m never leaving. If it’s not that’s when difficult decisions must be made.

Direct quote from that wiki page:

The airline ceased air carrier operations in May 1982 because of high fuel prices, credit card interest rates and extreme competition from the large trunk carriers and the new airline startups..”

Well thats not a surprising revalation. Its not like they would say "the airline ceased opertions because low fuel prices, low interest rates, and lack of competition." Airlines and businesses tend to not do well with high interest rates, high costs for their #1/#2 expense line items and extreme competition.

Edit** I quoted the wrong person. This was for Noisecanceller.


My buddies that went to UA said that assessment to interview can be anywhere from a few days to a month. Depends on slots available, but they said that most people chose 2-3 weeks out. This allowed them to prep.

Interview is about a 1.5 - 2 hour ordeal. Very relaxed environment from what they said.

A few days after the interview, they got the email saying they got the CJO. After that, it was approximately 2ish months to a class.

All that said, seems like we’ll know the verdict of the trial by years end so it would give you enough time to decide.

what? You did like that someone actually can up with an answer that an airline actually did close up shop? So you are now dismissing it because it happened before you were born so now it doesn’t count?

here then, another airline that closed up shop and went out of business in the United States;

Legend Airlines

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_Airlines

tell me you don’t like that answer and I’ll give you another airline.
