There aren't enough of those unique situations to keep those programs running. Hence they must be full of people who are willing to shoot themselves in the leg and screw themselves and the rest of us in the long run.
For THOSE poeple, I have no respect whatsoever. It's a bad thought, but I kinda hope they get stuck in those crappy "jobs" and see how foolish they've been.
There's never an excuse for going through a program like that. I don't care if you're 25 or 55. The programs have been around for years, so enough people are around to keep them going. If your situation is that unique stay at your old job to provide for your family. Scab mentality indeed. If they did it once what's to say they won't take the easy or low road when the moment of truth presents itself in the future. Not at my airline if I have a choice(which I currently do not).
