I have never heard that and if its true so I'm very sorry for making any crazy accusations. I have had illness in my family adn I have lost a sibling so I know that life sometimes deals you a crap hand and "big guys upstairs" (insert three letter word for deity here) works in mysterious ways. I can sympathize with anyone else in the same situation.

All i am saying is, talk the talk, walk the walk! A lot of the mood over here is "God Bless" this, "thank you for your hard work" this "your doing a really good job" this blah blah blah, and then when it comes time to negotiate a new contract, get a raise on the 170, use electronic trip trade, get a PDO, or talk about the grey ares in our CBA the door slams right in our face!

The company wants to act all big and bad like they treat their people well, but the pilots and flight attendants here still get shafted. It could be worse at other places and for the most part here everyone gets along but this company caters to its "children of the corn" up in Indianapolis. Case in point. Eveyone up at HQ in Indianoplace gets a paid vacation day for the day AFTER thanksgiving. and then when the flight crews and mechanics asked for it to be a paid holiday, they pretty much told us to "f" off! dubya tee eff! over!
