Denny,
When I was still on active duty contemplating my future I spent far too much time on these threads. I learned lots of valuable stuff. Also started looking at alternative careers cause everyone on here was so relentlessly negative that I thought this career must suck.
Eventually remembered that the few airline guys I actually knew were pretty happy.
Views on here are not representative.
I have some concerns with our union leadership and the relationship with management. As you have said elsewhere, I am not expecting a contract anytime soon.
