Your not spewing Kool-Aid. A vast majority of folks are very happy here. Today is yet another example of why I absolute love this place.
Ive been down south at my GFs families this past week for the holidays. I was supposed to start a 3 day this Sunday the 28th. We have a large dog so we have to drive for the holidays when we come down.
Memphis is halfway home so we always stop and take 2 days. F driving 14 hours. So Sunday I was to commute MEM to ORD and start a trip. This morning in, DOT, I find an incredible trip out of MCO. Day 1 and 4 are DH days. It pays 4 hours more and block is less than my 3 day.
Now, on Sunday, I simply JS on FedEx direct to my overnight. Then on Day 3, instead of going to the hotel, I JS home and no longer take the DH back on Day 4.
This kind of flexibility is exactly why I’m here and why I have no plans on leaving.
I don’t take attrition as a sign that this is a massive dumpster fire. Fun fact I came from a competing ULCC legit dumpster fire. Some folks want WB flying. Some, at all costs have to say they fly for XYZ brand. If is what it is. Who cares. They need to do what they need to do.
