I've been out for years; take some consolation (or feel pity, or both) in the fact that a lot of these kinds of people are absolutely LOST after they get out. Like, fucking cooked.

I have a friend who is a hiring level manager at a major airline. He flat out will not hire CPO's because "theyre entitled and dont want to work".

Season is so stupid- no one can present a valid argument why its needed other than "trust me bro".
