I consider myself lucky as this was my first airline job out of the Air Force, so I don't have another point of reference. That being said, I have flown with a bunch of guys from other airlines that almost to a man have said this is so much better than their previous other major for multiple reasons. I am wondering with everyone else hiring and we could realistically be a couple years from a new contract, Why doesn't the group of guys that think it sucks so bad here leave?

Do you think that our system form is going to change? Do you think that we are going to quit flying nights? Do you think that when you are senior enough to fly days that our day turns won't sit for 6 hrs between flights? Do you think that Memphis is ever going to get safer or better?

If it is so crappy here why stay? We are over manned and shrinking, if you hate it here now, you will always hate it here.
