Absolutely Scope is number one. Work rules and scheduling flexibility are next. Pref bid bring it on. Trusting guys who have used it to make sure its similar to whatever you had at VX. Not all of us AK guys are from the old guard. The union finally has leaders and look fwd to making this place a career and not a stepping stone.
As for my VX brethren. I get being ****ed and rightfully so. Lots of choices for applicants these days. The stuff written in this thread is true. But it is fixable. People will always come here. Problem is its not going to be what we are used to. Which in turn makes the job harder and a hell of a lot less fun.
