I've been elsewhere, seen the other side and right now this place really isn't that bad for a regional. Once we get a new contract it will be a nice place to work at.
What you see as optimistic, I see as defeatist. Where's your fire? Where's your burning desire for a new contract? With a widespread "it's not that bad attitude," we won't see a TA for another five years. Management wants nothing more than massive attrition to thin out the grizzled old vets and bring in new blood that are just happy to have a job. We are in the professional fight of our lives, and you want to just sit back and believe in a management team subscribing to the Fast Food model of turnover? Stand up for what you are worth and don't settle for "it could be worse." That is if you really are one of us, one of the 2000 rotting under a nine year old contract.
