Don't expect too many folks on the line with your attitude. I have been one of the lucky ones. Many have not faired as well. Just have a little bit of understanding for the less then enthusiastic. They deserve at least that much, IMO.
THANKS.

My post was directed at someone has was not here for any bankruptcy, is brand new, and is currently working under the exact contract he signed up for. I can completely understand that attitude among 88-89 hires an 99 hires, but to be brand new, never furloughed, not through any of the bankruptcies and that negative, I don't get.
I'm a realist too and the reality is that life is actually kind of fun. When it's no longer fun, it's time to change something.

This job is not my entire life. I plan for the worst and try to enjoy going to work. If it gets that unbearably bad for me, I'll find something else to do. In the meantime I refuse to spend a large part of my existence miserable and refuse to spread misery on other people that would rather enjoy themselves. I knew what I was signing up for when I applied and accepted the position and it was as expected.

If you can keep that attitude you will be just fine. It's worked for me since 1978.
