mr tarragon and I actually took a tiny little vacation and went out of town for a few days. The first morning of our trip I woke up to everyone I know calling, texting or emailing me to let me know that the airline I work for has (surprise!) been bought out by a bigger airline. This is really, really not good news. The big airline has a history of buying smaller airlines for their routes, gates and equipment and getting rid of all of their employees. I am a pretty senior flight attendant for my airline, and seniority means EVERYTHING in the airline world, but even if I do somehow manage to keep my job after this buyout/merger deal, my seniority will probably be seriously downgraded in favor of the other airline's employees. I'm really freaking out.

I have no idea what I'd do if I lost my job, and this whole airline merger thing also means mr.tarragon's chances of getting hired at a better airline are slim to none. I haven't been to work since this all came out since I'm on vacation, but friends have told me things there are really crazy. Our management team is not employee-friendly under the best of circumstances, so I can't imagine things will be pleasant.

Deep breath!

Start making contingency plans. You may find that you actually have more options than you ever realized, but because you didn't have to exercise them you never noticed.

Make pro/con lists about your job and think about what other options are out there.

With luck you will have no immediate requirements to use your lists, but having them will give you some ideas of what to do if you do need them.

I will send big jingles that you don't have to make any snap decisions!

I second TBF's plan.

Also start networking now if you can. Send out feelers and start exploring other options.

major hugs to both you and Mr T
