I don't mean to come off as a "negative nancy", just have heard and read some disturbing things, that never happened when Herb was driving.
I'd like to at least think there was still one decent place left.
Thanks to all in advance for the replies.

Got my 73 type in 2012 at HP. Even there, we were hearing things, but, what can you do.

Like I said, PM me if you want the real scoop.
Take care.

In those days, oSWApA would've already capitulated and sold a concessionary contract/extension, likely before the amendable date.
We'd have an "industry leading" contract right now, with pay and benefits that lag the real majors by a large margin, just like in the Herb days.

Looking forward to (hopefully) seeing over 1000 of my SWAPA brothers and sisters on the 24th in DAL!

If you haven't been to an IP yet, be in Dallas on the 24th. Get rid of your trip, cash in some swag points for RR points and buy a ticket. It is cathartic.
The culture at the airline isn't dead. You'll see it all around you in the people who stand beside you at the IP.
