Right
Oh. Come on. There are 800+ Eastern guys at UAL. And they were captains within 5 years. There are another 800+ Eastern guys at AMR. Some Pan Am guys came to UAL with their DOH seniority after UAL bought PanAm's pacific routes. Flying Tigers? They were bought by FedEX. Almost all of those guys went to FEDEX. You are just a glass half empty kind of guy. I am a glass half full guy.
I may be wrong about Flying Tigers but I thought that most of those guys were pushed out.
I would keep your glass full and thank your lucky stars. It is no fun to be kicked to the curb. I am sure it would be much more painful to fall from such grace as UAL.

[QUOTE=SkyHigh;142493]Your story isn't over yet. Lets all say a prayer tonight and hope that karma isn't coming your way.
My karma is fine, thank you. I know that wherever my "story" ends up, I made it to the dance, and I danced.

I always assumed that those guys were all pushed out of the job.

"SkyHigh's opinions are very valuable..."
I used to think so too...
But after he said he feels F/O's don't have an important job.
That time as a CFI isn't worthy to the career.
And that being a Jetblue or Frontier Capt isn't worth his time.
I now have less than zero respect for him.
If you don't feed the troll, maybe he'll go away....

"My "unanswered prayer" was that I didn't pursue a job at Frontier, Gemini or JetBlue"
That's Skyhigh opining on why he was glad he made the personal decision to get out of aviation as opposed to being at Jetblue or Frontier.
I don't make this stuff up.
Stop feeding the troll...
