Many of my former co-worker's spouses hit the road when the pay checks stopped.
What I am getting at is this could be a nice place to hang out for the rest of my career if I could feed my family from it. In the end I am getting more than a pay check from this place and I'll use it to find better opportunities.
We're re-inventing the wheel here. This is first year regional pay, and it's better here than most other places. Settle down, handle it, and the second year pay is a nice bump and makes things managable.
The only reason we have first year pay anyway, is because people are willing to work for it. If you're not, then leave, and if enough people do this, they won't have first year pay anymore.
Couldn't you have found what you were looking for at another regional, also? Why XJet if it is so horrible?????
95% of us are here, or were here, just for better opportunities.......
