Man, not me. I really appreciate a little positivity from the new folks I'm flying with. Nice to have some fresh air after breathing a room full of farts for the last 16 or so years. The guys/gals who are happy to be at United, cheerful about their job, eager to learn, and pleasant to talk to are the ones I most enjoy sharing an ID with. I certainly expect them to learn and defend our contract, but we as a collective company are better with people that want to do a good job.
