The way it is now ****es me off to no end. I can't believe "we" allowed it to happen in the first place. (I didn't vote "yes", by the way.)
What amazes me is that our union "negotiates" stuff away for us, and then wonders why we are so ticked at what is happening. Remember the first class crew seats they negotiated away? Hell, every Tom, Dick and Harry gets UPGRADED, while we sit in coach (and you KNOW they aren't making any money off the upgrades.......far from it), and then they want us to put stickers on our bags to "protest" what our union DID TO US. Incredible! Sometimes you really have to wonder who is negotiating for us!
Personally, I'm tired of having three and four leg days with sits between each leg, coupled with crew/aircraft swaps on each one, yet we get paid ZIPPO for all the extra work. And some wonder why I don't want to do this till I'm 65????
