Blah blah blah. After paying dues in sweat equity of flying to build time only to have a ball dropped in your lap as some cutesy hazing ritual? No thanks. Keep your 'proud' tradition. Glad I'll never have to see it. Let me do my CBT's, get my training done and get out the door with my paycheck. This place is not my life, nor will it ever be. I feel sorry for the newhires subjected to this lame crap. But again you were brainwashed and told as l-ual hires back in the day you were the best of the best of the best. So it's no surprise your ego's are in rationalized damage control mode to hang onto your ill-gotten perceived truths
