My friend's impression was one of it could always be better, but it was really important to work towards healing the division due to the merger. In today's environment, it is hardly reasonable to expect a lot for a little, particularly given the economy. Impending retirements both from the airlines and the military, coupled with rumored increasing of hiring, which should only increase due to the airline retirements projected, can't necessarily be a bad thing, with respect to new hires.
