You should go now. You remember the Titanic movie, where the first life boats went away half empty. Now is your chance

Incidentally, DEFCON 5 is the peaceful side of the spectrum. DEFCON 1 is the bad side.

DEFCON 5 is...., well nevermind, we'll never be there anyway.

Remember- there were captains at united who bailed to JetBlue b/c they got scared too fast. It's easy to bail when there's so much negative talk. If you do- i'd be real sure that what you're bailing to will actually make you happier. Whatever choice you make, be sure that it's your choice and not overly influenced. If you make a good choice- you can always live with it how it turns out.

Besides- i don't think <700 pilots will "flood" the market- remember- virtually every RJ and turboprop captain w/ over a year experience has their stuff out. Frontier pilots have reputations for great attitudes and good abilities and you're probably way more qualified than most regional guys. Bottom line-= if Frontier's your gig- i'd chill out for a while til the writing's a lot clearer- If Frontier has never been your dream gig- than you should have already been putting out your stuff to the places that will make you happy.

But always: Enjoy where you are- while you're there. It's the only way to live w/ our profession! G'luck!

Hi!

If U can hold out for 4-6 months before you start interviewing, the merger picture will be much more clear.

I got out of Indy about 4 months before the end. Would have left much sooner if I had gotten the call. After almost 6 years there I was displaced back to CRJ FO and making no $$. Had I been a senior A319 CA I would have gone down with the ship.

BTW - At AirTran I'm about a year senior to a top 25 seniority Independence CA who had about 11 years on me there. Bottom line is that it all depends on where you are at your current company.
