If our gains are "too much" and you have to spend a little time on the street, suck it up and realize you'll be coming back to a profession worth coming back to. Not an RJ job flying Boeings.

And we finally get to the rub of it. All us junior people should "suck it up" and sacrifice a few years of unemployment so the mighty giants like Carl can retire rich. Well screw you buddy. You are a perfect example of what's wrong with this industry and this so called union. At least LM represented everyone, not just the top. With supporters like Carl, I fear the DPA is just the opposite. Restore the top at the expense of everyone else.
Can't wait for the day you pull the retirement rip chord.
