I agree. Thus the commentary on SKW vs XJT. FYI, CRP is one helluva nice place to live. Even if the base lasts 2 years, I will have spent "the worst years" in a wonderful slow sleepy gulf city. I couldn't be happier. Living in LA, Ontario, Palm Springs, Portland, Salt Lake, all those beautiful towns....on a $20,000-30000 a year salary is pure torture to a guy like me. I'm a huge skier and mountain climber, two sports that require good gear to do what I like to do and that measly salary just ain't gonna cut it. I'll take $3.50 Mexican food plates and all the gulf shrimp and Margaritas I can drink at the quiet seaside restaurants. If you speak spanish, hail from Texas and say howdy to total strangers, life in Corpus Cristi can be amazing...life is all about your attitude anyway. If you are always thinking that California is the bomb when you originally hail from Wisconsin, and you finally discover that food can be organic and not pesticide filled then yes, i can see why Skywest is a blast to work...especially if the FAs are beautiful. I agree though that the sweet ride is coming to an end.
Sacrifice is something that is missing from the aspects of character in our youth today so its no surprise that three supposed people the Big Leb knows quit their commitment. That's not a surprise, especially since I served in the military and sat in many o' Captain's Mast for degenerate sailors whose mom's weren't there to keep them on the straight and narrow path of righteousness.
