Disagree. As an ex con can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard moaning about how wonderful our former employer was. Never mind the joys of Smallsac, Friends of Fred, and scabs leading ALPA committees.

My favorite was the guy on Sparky that was virtually in tears when fence fell. Told me he had zero doubt our careers had peaked and that we had gained nothing from the merger. The gigantic irony that we were flying back from Sydney as he spoke those words didn’t seem to matter.
