Someone with 1,500 hours looking for a job right now will definitely have a different experience that what I had coming in. And hopefully they have empathy and will listen to the more veteran folks when we don't want to sell out scope or QOL for a few extra dollars and promises from management.
I'm absolutely with ya and hit everything at the worst possible time. Five furloughs and six airlines later I'm starting again. Guys coming out of school now have it made, and I'm glad for them...obviously we don't have any control over when we are born. I'm just hoping for a shot this time around at making it end as I had envisioned. These are indeed exciting times!
