He can become the next Tom Carney!! Every av student I knew while at Purdue *loved* that man!

I've heard that Great Lakes also has a contract of sorts kind of like Mesa. I think its only one year though...but I'm not 100% sure.

maybe this was the other option, he applied other places and didn't get hired, both av and non av work. she is out of a job. Cobra can be very expensive, and unemployment doesn't always cover the bills. We use to go on unemployment every year, durning the winter, and we would have straved if we would have had to pay bills with it.

I wonder how tall the soap boxes would be if it was your house that was being forclosed on, your family that wasn't eating, your power that was being shut off.

I stand by my statement. There are always other options in life. Always. Whether or not you chose to take them is your choice, and if you think that I am on a soap box, you are mistaken. You should read my posts again.


As for Great Lakes, they do require a contract. It's 12 or 18 months. I think that it's 18, actually. I am sure that it's subject to change. Also, it's true, their pay is terrible!

Sarah, I agree with you on this one.

While there might ALWAYS be other options, some don't have the luxury of pursuing options that take more time, or require a move (we didn't know I was going to lose my job). In general, I agree that all other options should be explored. We discussed every option to great length, and made the choice we felt was necessary. Did I come on here looking for support? Yes I did. And thus far, I've been a little hurt and dissappointed by the attacks being sent my way. Some have stood up for me and I greatly appreciate it. Please understand that this is not the "easy way out" for us by any means. DH does not have "shiny jet syndrome". However, he and I are a team-and responsible for another little person. Thus, every choice we make is as a unit, and for the entire family.

If people who are making judgemental comments would please listen to what others are saying, perhaps this was "THE option" for them. You can qualify "other options" any way you want to suit your interests--what you want/need is not necessarily what's best for someone else. If you want to symbolically "spit" on a GoJet pilot or spouse, that's your "option", too. If not, move on, find one of those "options" to work somewhere else; blaming another person for your losses does nothing. I personally find this all despicable behavior for any adult. Another option is to take the high road and get over it.

oh my! did your dh work at champion? that's the airline that my dh and i worked for. he always had to seat down during fuloughs (from FO to FE) it was a constant pita to keep going to recurrent for 2 different seats and then being on the bottom of the senority list and getting displaced to another base contstantly. i truly enjoyed the flying we did (lots of caribbean, mexico and tons of NBA, NHL and VIP flying) i do miss that!

[Bigsweetie]

No, he didn't work there. One of his friends who did told him that. I've heard it somewhere else too (can't remember where).

But... who did this? I certainly didn't blame anyone. Danish & I went through the same situation at the same time. Both of our husbands lost their jobs at the same time. We were in the same boat.
