Speaking of which, we’re at over 40 resignations this month. This should be fun.

I don’t know, but everyone I’ve flown with who’s under 40 is actively looking. The last guy I flew with was right at 30
and had interviews with the three legacies set up.

And why wouldn't they? Nobody starts this career saying, "oh I want to work for a ULCC, it's my DREAM"! To deny it is just ridiculous.

We all want to work for the best, but sometimes, often, "life" happens. Enjoy what you get stuck with, make the most of it and encourage others when they have opportunities to be better than you. Life is too short.

**I hope you all are ready to fight. Those of us stuck here will not only be fighting the company, but also those in our union trying to negotiate like it's 2001. We need some more new blood in our union leadership.

I’m tempted to apply myself, but don’t want to be in my 50’s before I break even, and with my luck there’d be a considerable economic correction just as I joined the bottom of someone list.

I only hope that the wild pilot market benefits us at the negotiating table, and that we find ways to take advantage of the regionals slowly cutting service to places as they fight their own staffing wars.

Why is this shocking news to anyone who isn’t a company cheerleader? There are better jobs to be had and FOs and some CAs are taking those jobs. Stating the obvious isn’t being “negative,” it’s being real
