I've been called a glass half full guy before, and the fact is, there is a lot of room for more in my glass. But I'm not bitter and angry at myself for choosing to come to F9. I love working here. The pay sucks during the first year, and also thereafter relatively speaking. But I had to leave the regionals to take care of my family. Is it UAL pay? No. So what. UAL hasn't called me.
This begs the question: why are you here if you hate every single thing about F9? Go to a legacy if you're too good for F9. Or a regional.
I'll be the first one to walk when we strike. But I enjoy most of our hotels, even though some really need to go. I love the crews I work with. And if you hate this management, you should consider the previous versions. The ones that accepted pilot's concession after concession. And still ran the place into the ground after taking all that money.
Now I'll take my lashings, for daring to be happy...
