What hurts: the pay cut, but mostly the fact that I know I should have tried to get out as soon as the merger talks started. Told everyone to leave, and everyone listened except me.
January line was 21 legs, 18 crew meals, #jeffreydahmer. And starting February, I wont have to commute for the first time in over 2 decades.

Yeah, single biggest regret as a senior middle age CA at NK is not leaving sooner. Totally did the same thing with FO's and telling every one to leave, but didn't take my own advice until the Jetblue merger was toast.

You literally took the words, and regret, right out of my mouth. It's hard to make peace with the last three years of complacency but it has to be done. Hopefully every NK guy and gal finds a seat soon. I can't see this ending well.

Holy heck guys. lol. Depression is a disease. Maybe start another thread someplace else? Pretty sure everyone you left behind will be okay, and don’t need your daily updates in your new awesome life.

Denial is the first stage of grief. You’re still living in denial. Don’t crap on others sharing their experience after leaving, it’s good info for those deciding themselves with impending class dates approaching.

You haven’t been here long enough to appreciate the fact that many have made the tough decision to leave after 10-12 years and many are still struggling with that decision.
