Ill go first: I stay because I value my family time more than Delta/AA/United money. The day I have to spend 2-4 nights a week away dragging a bag through a hotel again will be awful. Been there done that. Thats just me. Everyones situation is different and obviously QOL mileage here WILL vary.

Will this place implode and I will be forced to go work at a Legacy? Maybe. Maybe I will give up flying altogether at that point. I want an industry leading CBA here as well, but Im not an "idiot" for passing up the biggest hiring wave blah blah blah.

Actions speak loud than words…if it was as bad as you say it is then you’d leave too.

Be realistic and look at what you are saying: I can’t leave, I’m forced to be here, I have no control over my career.

This place has plenty of warts and our contract is an embarrassment to the industry. Management is vindictive. But being home every night 99% of the time is a major QOL for some of us and the only reason I can fathom somebody would stay here or come here vs legacy hiring.

If its so great why do we have such an attrition problem at the bottom of the seniority list right now? I think you will find they are leaving fast. Not staying, leaving. Is it because maybe QOL is terrible for the junior guys and they experience the suck and say now way I'm out? You senior guys who have the QOL, do so at the expense of the junior guys. And you are threatened because if enough junior guys leave, your base may close or you may get downgraded, or worse - you may end up on reserve in a base you don't want. So for those still listening and thinking of coming here, those posting rainbows and unicorns here need you to do the **** work so that they can have their easy life at your expense. Any rocking of the boat threatens them,
