Seriously. I tried to be excited when I came back from a second, lengthy furlough. But after all the BS.......the anti-merger chest bangers, the mediocre contract, the absolutely crappy trips, the pathetic PBS that gives junior guys what you wanted, working weekends and holidays after 14 years, the abominable operation on a daily basis, SLI, last place airline, etc, etc, I really and truly decided that this industry sucks and is no longer for me. I try to justify the pay for all the BS, but it is not worth it to me. I truly envy you guys that think you are on cloud 9. I wish I felt that way.Peace out y'all! You guys enjoy it. I am playing lottery and going back to my furloughed job. I'll coach little league this spring and be home for every birthday, holiday and vomiting child. Screw UAL and Jeff. There are more important things in life. Oh, and don't forget your sick note from your Doctor, LOL! What a joke. FurloughedX2 over and out.

FurloughedX2;

You beat me to it. I thought I was going to be the first to leave again. I guess I have to be #2 this time.

Sorry to hear that, it's been overall a good career for me, I make more money with more days off then any of my friends that are outside of the airline industry, and I have a lot of fun at work. I've had a ton of great layovers, been to the Costa Rica rainforest, had cocktails overlooking Hong Kong harbor, and biked across the Golden Gate Bridge, taken my family on a lot of great trips. Aside from furloughs I've found this job is like the rest of your life, it's what you make of it, and enjoying the experience. I've had 9/5 jobs and I won't go back to that life. Best of luck to you!

Maybe for you. The guy is quitting as his airline dream has been dashed. He got hosed twice. Moom comes on and tells the guy what a walk in the park his career has been and leaves a nice list to support it.

The way I was raised, one doesn't take another mans bad situation and turn it around to aggrandize his own.
