The idea of companies and employees hugging and kissing all the way to the fortune 500 list went out with the mullet. It's basically a myth, and even if it isn't a myth, then you must admit it is extremely rare, and not remotely ever going to happen here.
I agree with your assertion. I wasn't trying to say we need to hug it out with our new owners. We are just a number, a meaningless labor unit in their eyes. The big picture is Indigo has an opportunity to make a huge amount of money in a relatively short amount of time, but that won't happen if this place is run like it is being run today. There is a huge disconnect between the line, middle and upper management, and Indigo.
