Go 190 and get your line quickly as of now

The debate rages about jumping ship at the regional between me and my friends. I for one think starting over at a company which I would not mind spending the rest of my career at is not a problem. The main thing is that I did the math and because of all the lifers at Mesaba (Pinnacle) I would be 55 before I held weekends off in MSP. There are so many that get blinded by a semi decent schedule and being based at home they are willing to put up with anything (sham bankruptcy, mergers where seniority is screwed for some and now possible concessions with another possible bankruptcy.

Some even say that they do not think that leaving has a "payoff" because the starting pay is low. I do not think that the regionals have a bright future. A great reason to go to a good company.

I'm curious, did you turn down the flow?

Just curious. How did you make the decision to leave your regional after 17 years? Surely you must of been bidding a very good schedule with plenty of time off after all of that time.

Interesting... And stop calling him "surely".
