age is a number not a behavior

Not without dinner and a movie.

It's the, "Me, me, me" generation's fault. Now get off my lawn!

It’s funny because the older generation are some of the biggest “me, me, me” people there are lol

I don't know that I'd say generations plural.

You know what, I’d agree with that assessment

Not sure if you’re doing it already, but I would recommend volunteering with HIMS. That is one way to help with your legacy resume. It demonstrates learning from your experience and growth. I’m sure you need one more thing to add to your plate, but if you’re trying to move from NK with this on your record, try to put as many arrows in your quiver as you can. Best of luck.

Thanks man, great idea. I’ll reach out and see if they need any help. I’m pretty pumped, just got an offer on my house, and a Zoom invite for Eastern 777. Not the best airline I’d admit, but thankful for the opportunity to interview given my driving record. The FO pay is on par with Spirit too, so with Home Basing, I think I’ll go if I get the CJO.

Good luck. And a recent new type rating won’t hurt the resume’ either.

I decided to stay at Spirit. I'm going to ask if I can stay a captain, but I'm willing to work for first officer wages. My wife said she'd leave me and take all the dogs with her because she only wants to be with a captain and doesn't like first officers. There is a United captain that lives in the Woodlands that she does some housework for when I am on the road that said first officers aren't really pilots.
