Still, commuting is a reality of this industry, and we need this JCBA to work for all of us... And many are one base-closure away from being commuters again, because not everyone is gonna uproot the whole family every time this industry shifts again. Spirit has more than one base hanging in the balance, hopefully it doesn't come to that, but yet it is true. You live in one of Spirit's CORE safe bases? Good for you, and I'm glad. Don't assume everyone will or should make your life choices.

While I have my tired moments, I am FAR from unhappy. Quite the contrary to be honest, have most of life by-the-balls these days. Even still, I think you could guess the one thing I would change without ruining a bunch of other things, if I could.
