I’d like to hear THIS guy’s story. 32 y/o and already a “former” UAL pilot ? Gotta be a story there.
“Giacomo Palombo, a former United Airlines pilot…”
“…Palombo, 32, now an Atlanta-based consultant for McKinsey & Co.”
Years ago, I worked with a legacy FO who was furloughed long enough to go back to school, get an MBA and become a McKinsey consultant (oil industry, IIRC). A really smart, motivated guy.
When the airline called him back from furlough, he jumped ship from that consulting gig like it was on fire. He made good money but was never "off duty"...worked like a pack animal.
When he went to his boss to tell him he was returning to his airline career, Bossman laughed out loud...thought the guy was kidding. Nope...he wasn't kidding.
I'll guess Mr.Palombo won't be returning to UAL or going to a Chinese carrier ? Have to hear from him to know his circumstances.
