Lear Love,
You just never know. The short time I was at Eagle I flew with a captain who had it rough. We talked a bout 727s one day, I told him I had been on the 727 for a few companies, he said he had been a captain on it, and a captain on the A300 and 757. Eastern.
Here is the kicker. He had been hired at UAL in the early 70s and furloughed, Eastern was hiring the qualified 727 guys, so he went. UAL recalled him a couple years later. He had figured why would I go back to little old United. He retired at eagle as a Saab Captain.
At the end of the trip he said he didn;t think about it and had no hard feelings, but would have been 30 on the sen list on the 747-400. He would have retired before all this garbage with a bucket load of money.
