Having said that, do not discount the opinions of the "negative voices here", they all have those negative opinions for a reason. I, and I think most of us here, share their disgusts with some aspects of how employees are treated here, we simply disagree on how to deal with it.

I recently met a new-hire who's already contemplating Delta. Why is that?
Don't let the doomsayers cloud your view but at the same time have an honest look at the morale here and ask yourself - why would people who're making fairly good money be so miserable?
If I was younger I too would be looking at other options. Not because I'm miserable here, because I'm not, or because I hate it here, because I don't, but because I worry about our future.

This company used to be all about the CUSTOMER! Heck, we had jets circling in the air ready to "rescue" stranded packages due to aircraft mechanicals, etc. The customer was always right, we bent over backwards for them. Now? Not so much. Employees still do for sure, we all do because we care about this company and our futures. The upper management? Well, I'm starting to think that as long as the dividend check looks good they'll be willing to keep shrinking the airline and our overall market share. ..or how about the numerous business decision failures? Menlo integration, DHL, Postal Contract, TNT..

I'm trying to stay optimistic, I think most of us are, hoping that one day new leadership will take control of this ship and realize what's going on and will take this company back to its roots because we have a fantastic workforce, great know-how and some incredibly talented people here ..but for now...

Yeah, be smart, listen to people on both sides and then make up your mind. The naysayers are all good guys/gals, they wouldn't be scaremongering if they weren't worried about what's going on here...

Either way, wish you the best. If you join us I hope you and I and everyone else here will find ourselves very positively surprised one day...
