Ok I've been at NWA/DAL going on 3 years, make more money than i every did at my regional, work a fraction of the time, home more, and career potential here at DAL FAR exceeds anything i'd have ever seen at my old regional. 5 years from now, based on attrition i'll be moving up the seniority list at a good clip and in 10 years i'll be near 50% within the company. Thats based on attrition only, growth only makes it happen sooner.
Will you digress now?
Of course the world could end tomorrow and then we're all hosed. If that happens, I still made a better decision leaving my regional for bigger and better things. IMHO, Its far more risky to gamble your "career" at a regional than it is to make the move asap to a major. To each their own i guess.
Congratulations. I hope real opportunity comes my way in the next 5 years too. I'm not holding my breath, nor am I disappointed with my life as it is now. My glass is half full too.
Like I said, my sole purpose here was to fish for scope and rile his worthless ass up. It's worked like a charm. It only took like 5 minutes. What an awesome life he must have hanging out in here insulting people.
