I don't think most new hires have any concept of this. Military types are just glad not to be in the sand box for 179 days straight (or working 7 days a week when stateside), and regional pilots who survived their hellish lost decade are thrilled to make it to big D. Keep spreading the good word on how good this job has been and should again become; heavens knows the profits are there to make it so.
Being a CEO ain't like it used to be either, ya know...
