Maybe, as a FNG, I'm still oblivious to any blatent infractions committed to my crew/by my crew thus far.

Imputed income, awarded trips dropped for R1, training on X days, less than stellar travel/reservation support, anemic retirement plan, below industry standard pay scale... some of the issues already noted I wished could be addressed by the company before the legacy floodgates really open.

Regardless, I am honored, greatful and humble just to have this experience.
