BEST OF LUCK guys....

I wish everyone could follow my lead and quit this industry! I quit XJT for exactly this same reason - the union & mgt proposing 5% wage cuts, deductions from my retirement matching, and stagnated wages for the next 3-5 years (no upgrades). It wasn't responsible to continue making 30K a year until I was 40 years old. XJT was good times and a good company.... but even as one of the best regionals out there, they fail to pay a reasonable wage as do many "majors".

YOU CAN'T TAKE PAY CUTS - HISTORICALLY THERE IS NO SNAP-BACK OR RESTORATION OF PAY/BENEFITS. IT IS A ONE WAY STREET.

I signed the paperwork today with CBP, I'm a free man!
