Someone has to hold the line, even if it's not the most popular thing to do, even at Christmas; otherwise you would have a lot more people feeding the alter-egos.
It wasn't meant to show upport for gojets, it waqs meant to bring the light to the way things are....Really now, you had a contract, you stick with yours...they have a contract stick with theirs....if the guy in charge says he wants to do something different, don't have a fit, thats not your problem. I have owned a printing shop for around 3 years now. I purchase ink in 50 lb bags. I have a courier service that delivers the ink and parts to me from the manufactuers, if the courier service says to me, we won't deliver your merchandise unless you give us more money, then i'll say "fine, im gonna take my business elsewhere....and if any of you wanna come along, you can".Lets put this one on the scales:
Possibly lose your job..................................Keep a job with less pay

The bottom line is, regionals are cheap, cheap to operate, cheap with money ,cheap to keep. If they don't stay cheap, they don't stay under a mainline contract.Why are the scales so low out here? Because its cheaper to pay you nothing than to give you something, its not right, but thats how its gotta be.Think about it....it may hurt, but hey, its the truth.
Maybe one day we'll all hit it in the big leagues, until then we gotta sweat it out, out here...
