That way when you're stuck at the bottom and commuting to reserve, you don't feel like slashing your wrists with a dull plastic butter knife you borrowed from a Flight Attendant. RAH is a terrible place, and I wish I would've listened to some wiser and older friends. I made my decision in late 07 based on projected movement. I've been paying for that shortsightedness ever since.
How can you blame yourself for that. There are always some facts that you can base your decision on but mostly speculation. So if you were trying to get on w/a company right now with great work rules, pay etc., you get hired and 3 months in they take huge concessions to save their asses. Do you credit yourself with that? What gives?
