Most importantly there's a level of stability here that doesn't exist at regionals. In the decade I spent at the regionals, I saw a furlough, 8 base closures, the wholesale destruction of my first regional (XJT), and the destruction of any kind of safety culture at my second.

To compare the two is to completely misunderstand what life is like at a regional these days.

I'm not saying this place is perfect, I'm saying it can't be compared against a regional. The people who do are so bitter and angry about life that they'd complain about having to work "every f-ing Wednesday" at Delta and then launch off about how much their taxed on their bonus checks; put simply, the guys who inhabit this place would be angry no matter what.
