Your friends are most welcome here. It's nice to not fly with people who complain non-stop about the very things they agreed to do when they took the job. Republic is just like all the other airlines: some things sre nice and some could be nicer. Spare me the I'm a company guy comments. i'm the biggest advicate for a fair contract and work rule improvements. I was simply raised better than to cry publicly like a baby especially over something I agreed to.
