FFS man, I sat jobless and wondering how to pay my bills, while you guys fly routes I was flying just months ago in an airbus.
I'd have killed to keep my job with a long commute over what I actually got dealt/am still in the midst of. You new guys who think the industry owes you everything really are something.

It's good you like your company, but you really don't have anything going for you that any other regional in the country does. Quick upgrades, flow, whatever other perks will resume in the relatively short future. Again, truly am glad you kept your jobs and have that stability.
