Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of hard workers and great people in this company/industry...but for those reasons I've listed above (and many more), there will never be true solidarity within a company, let alone the industry. It's what keeps two-bit, Micky Mouse operations like Pinnacle afloat.
True. It's like when we had those "99%" stickers in 2008 and yet were the #1 ontime performing regional every quarter.
