Like the original poster stated, its time to start realistically managing expectations, thinking long term, and understanding the time value of money earned now, rather than 10 years from now. Good luck fellas
Wow. You can't be serous! If you are a regional guy, then you are doomed and quite frankly don't get it! Every major concession to save the company has used " realistic expectations" memo, but spoken from union traders and management. Over 16 years since UA and CAL has had a new contract. Over two years since the merger, and we do not have a major section completed..nor does any labor group have a contract...and you talk about realistic expectations. It is unrealistic to believe you will have a job or security, long term or consistent pay over time, if you continue to outsource your skills and productivity...no matter the career field
