Let me reiterate, I love the job & crews, hate the contract. Is that simple enough?
I think you got everyone's ire because you were dismissive of everyone's well established complaints. People have been living under this contract for a long time, and it's death by 1000 cuts. There's nothing overtly terrible that a newbie can point to and say "wow, that's bad." It's just the day in, day out grind of disappointments and personal sacrifices you will make to the Eskimo that will get you to that emotional place.
You're a newbie, so let me give you some advice. Don't look back. Congratulations, you've made it. Now it's time to up your standards.
Look upwards towards your peers. Not downwards to where you've come from.
Because where you're looking is where you're heading.
