I never said we were the messiah. I just said you would do well to value our opinions since we have all recently come from various parts of the industry. Many of the senior guys have endured this nonsense so long that it doesn’t register how lousy our work rules are. I don’t fault you for that. I’m just saying that we should have clear goals on what we want for our QOL if we ever get a contract to vote on.

I’m really not sure why you’re irritated with us in this thread. Most of the senior guys I’ve talked with about these things agree that this is a sketchy cornfield operation that is frankly kind of embarrassing, but for some reason you’re taking it personally that we are calling a spade a spade. It’s not personal at all...
