Separate question...why would you want to come to this dumpster fire? This place is a joke. If I could leave I would. If I had a crystal ball a few years ago I would have stayed at my regional. Man I thought this place would be awesome. And it seemed that way initially. I really wanted to hang my hat here and was proud to work here. Soaked up the blue juice initially. Now I hate it here and really wish I had never gotten the call for this place. I helped one of my buddies get on here not that long ago and I feel really bad about it now. Almost like pumping a stock that ends up losing one of your friends a lot of money. I tried to warn him before he started while he could still stay at his other airline, but the allure of a “major” airline was too much. I won’t write any more letters to help people out to come here, at least not until management makes a 180.

The worst part for me....I screwed my family by coming here. Pay, (lack of) time off, and my misery at home that carries over from trips here (usually after flying with juicers helping out the flailing operation), has had negative impacts on my family life. If it was just me, that’d be one thing. But I have a wife and kids who now suffer from the inept and greedy management at this place. I wish culture put food on my table, but unfortunately I can’t even use culture as toilet paper. Oh, and culture doesn’t even exist here anymore, so discussing culture bucks is moot.

Don’t come here...save yourself the physical, emotional, mental, and financial misery. It’s not worth it. Maybe it will be one day. Today is not the day. Even with a contract, this place will still have major issues, with a little bit of potential thrown in for good measure.
