I never looked to anyone for help to get a job, or cash, except to my employer.
I put in my application, and stood on my own two feet.
I never asked anyone for help to get a job.
That is why I literally, never applied at Continental.
I didn't want to stick my hand out to friends for help.
And that is the kind of people that Continental hired. The whole walk in a friend in policy.
People who had no problem sticking their hands out.
I got here on my own.
I expect nothing from fellow employees except for proper Union representation.
I hope we would feel we are being properly represented if we were able to be a fly on the wall listening to what is going on inside.
12 years on seniority list, 6 on property. 54 years immersed in everything aviation knowing what to expect in an airline career. Knowing we will get furloughed before I took the job.”
Copy and paste from The Other Forum, too? Classy fella here.
I, like many, arm staring down the barrel of the loaded furlough gun, and I’ll tell you as a post merger guy I hated hearing this stuff when times were good. Now, it’s infuriating. Take your bs somewhere else.
