Wynncore,

I do not think that the comments posted in this thread are from people who will never be happy anywhere. To say so is an attempt to dismiss them, discredit them and their advice. If they feel that they made a mistake and want to share, whatever their motivation, it's their perogative. They have a right to their educated opinion as do you. It's up to the reader to sort through both sides and hopefully form an educated opinion.

I liken Alaska pilots to the story of boiling frogs alive. If you turn the heat up, little by little, the frogs will never leave the pot.

Well, Alaska management has been ratcheting up the flame slowly for years. You guys and gals are all getting cooked alive. You won't truly realize how good others have it until you leave the pot and look back.

And there's also Stockholm Syndrome...


In the end, everyone votes with their feet. Don't fault them for leaving the pot or complaining about the heat until they do.
