What did you do?

What did you do?

This was, hands down, the most difficult decision I've had to make in my professional career.

After weeks of pondering and "what ifs" my wife and I decided that for now it would be best for us that I stay at JB. While I know that this was the right decision for us at this time, I am incredibly sad that I no longer have the option of returning to United. I have reluctantly resigned from United.

United was my dream job. I can remember the day and where I was when I found out that I was hired. It is something that I had been pursuing since I was in grade school. I did whatever I had to do to get the experience in order to be hired by United and worked my way up through CFI/bush pilot/tour pilot/regionals/cargo. I paid for all of my flight training out of my own pocket. I can remember looking on the floor of my car for spare change so I could eat a 39-cent taco at Taco Bell. If any of you have seen "The Pursuit of Happiness" with Will Smith, you know how I felt when I got hired at United. I had finally made it.

I would have liked to return to United at some point in the future, but due to family considerations I couldn't take the cut in pay and QOL at this time. And, I don't have the military leave option. Just the luck of the draw, I guess.

Good luck to all of you.

GP....guess I need to change my screen name. Loved flying the guppy.

In my view family comes first...you made the right choice best of luck to you.

GuppyPuppy--tough choice. I'm sure you're glad the decision is over.

Does anyone know if trainees are having to pay for their own hotel in DEN (I know I did as a newhire). I have a place I'd like to rent out in DEN...
