I'm going to come right out and say it. YOU SOUND LIKE A FREAKING TOOL! Maybe you don't mean to sound that way but the more I read your posts, the harder it is to convince myself that you are just misrepresenting yourself.

I once worked for a company called Atlantic Southeast Airlines. I now work for a company named Expressjet as the name the Atlantic Southeast Airlines does not exist anymore as an airline. If you want to keep pointing your fingers at a someone else instead of trying to rationalize and possibly educate, then you are the problem.

Put yourself in someone elses shoes for a moment. Seriously try to do this. It's hard. But maybe you will understand for a moment.

If you think Jerry decided to buy Expressjet because he felt bad for them, you might be mistakin. He needed someone to strengthen Atlantic Southeast Airlines. ASA needed Expressjet and vice versa.

How about you come to YOUR senses and give up everything you earned so that the LXJET guys don't have to? There's a solution. Give up your contract that you worked for over the years and I bet the company will let the LXJET guys keep what they have. You will see things move real fast. Oh but why should you make a sacrifice? It's so much easier to tell someone else that they need to.

Sounds stupid but that is what you are asking of them.
