The fact that you derive pleasure by trying to crap all over your employer and co-workers is very telling. It's a sign of a VERY unhappy person. Seriously man, from what I understand we have a pretty decent EAP program, and I hope that you use it before really going off the deep end.
I guess telling the truth about personal experiences and observations is "crapping" exactly how? My coworkers as well? Do I not like the SS department, there is no secret there, they are operating the same way as they did 30 years ago, and the disregard they had/have for me as a person wasn't imagined. While there plenty of good intentioned individuals in every department, there are also a few less well intentioned. What you see as negative, I see as posting real experiences without coloring or glossing over. Wonderful you have found a positive change from being a cubicle dweller, while your 4 years have been pleasant, that's great, every domicile is different, having been domiciled in more than a few of them over the last 15 years, I have also seen some of the more "interesting" practices. Your time in the barrel is one keystroke away from reality. I have seen the ups and downs here, and make no mistake, yesterday or even today is no guarantee for a month away. Want an easily seen evidence? Go to the bid list and check the freezes for certain EMB Captains for transition, 'nuff said. As far as the EAP, not needed for this pilot, while you may not see it, I am consistent, and have even had a few psych evals for different positions over the years. Your 4 years experience does not make you an expert on the entire company, there was a lot of stuff, I didn't even know had happened until I had a decade at the company and talked to senior guys who had experienced it. Ask around about the DD case, or even read it online, its out there.
