I think that's what many of the junior guys are doing.
I think I've worked with you before, and if you are who I think you are, you are a really great guy and a good captain.
It's easy to get caught up typing angry on the internet. What makes it worse, is you clearly love it here and want to defend the company and company culture. I simply want the best compensation, and growth opportunities for my family. I really could care less about fun, how great the crews are (yes, no where else will have crews as great as here). But, for me it's a numbers game. If our total compensation surpases DL/UA/AA, I'll stay. If not, I'll go to where I'm compensated the best.
A small piece of advice, if you will-
We are all on the same side. I think we all like it here, and just want to make it the best place it can be. Being upset and defensive gets you no where. You may want to stay here regardless of any changes and that is great. We need good guys here to make this place the great place that it is. You must understand however, that others don't share your feelings, and you have to understand their position as well.
