I’m just so terrified I don’t know what to do!! Ever since I read that email I’m so angry I could punch a wall. These 105 Captains from Vegas are gonna push SO MANY junior pilots out of DFW and IAH into Florida and maybe even the Northeast. I never should have ever left the Corporate Job I had. The only reason I did was my ex wife ended up sleeping with one of the owners while I was in long term training on the Hawker. FML. I think for me, I’m gonna nuke my 401k, pay off my house, downgrade back to FO, and pull all my kids out of their club sports, and then just keep applying everywhere and anywhere. F&ck!!!!!!! I should have left when Frontier fell through the first time! F&ck this POS airline!! I hope Ted slips and falls and his guitar lands right up his a$$!!!!!!!!!!

Now it was all Ben. He’s the one that trashed Ned’s Airline and turned it into Section 8 Airways.

Not sure where you are but in my state kids can do an associate's degree (essentially all of the lower end 101 courses and stuff like calculus 1-3, etc) at the local CC for $100/credit hour, it's around $6k for the two-year. Then transfer into the State system and get a 4-year. Total cost is around $20k-$25k not including room/board total for the combined BS/BA degree.


My dude I can feel the stress in this post through my computer.

Wind the clock. NO RASH MOVES. Get with your family and explain everything, lay it out on the table. Make a plan. Plan A, B, C, D, E and F. Think through it through logically as best you can.

No one hired after 2008 would be here if it weren’t for Ben. Maybe that would’ve been a good thing but he’s why the growth happened.

I’ve been enjoying it. The regular retards all fell for it too. Prefect gathering spot for them to dish out life advice. One retard has openly wondered where halon was; he’s at least 3 people in this thread including this threads creator. I’m just surprise SloFlo didn’t show up. I’ve started calling hospitals and jails.

$1,000 a week covers my kids, my girlfriend, her 3 kids, and our 6 dogs. My boys are athletes and eat 3 or 4lbs a meat a week and almost a dozen eggs a day.

I just called our realtor today, I think we are gonna list our home and just downsize our lifestyle so my kids can keep playing club sports. I’ll take the downgrade and just keep applying. Sucks to be going backwards but it is what it is.
