Why did you voluntarily seek employment that didn't meet your expectations, and why were you a participate in the degradation of the profession? Didn't you have a clear and unequivocal mission statement in your job search? Didn't you value the profession, or did you do a resume pump and run, and now expect others to repair the damage?
I should probably seek Tom's inflation adjusted damages for your behavior....

I didn't go to a carrier like that Slow, neither did you. So, I guess my question is why are you singling out one person. I agree with 88 in much of what he says.
Is it unreasonable for us to hope for restoration? Is it unreasonable for us to demand restoration?
I would submit to you that if it is, I'd like the union off the property and at least I'd get my 1.9% back.
