Wish more felt this way.
Didn't seen a green slip here until year 8 or so. A only two for this year, and halfway through them I was wondering what the heck I was thinking.
Never felt pressured for cash.
Now it's all "don't touch my green slips, my reserve GS payback days, my PSC to pick up systemwide, and also overstaff the airline so if I don't feel like working I won't have to."
