Definitely....

Accepting all those pilots knowing 2/3rds of the aircraft they work on are being sold.

Watch the last 10 minutes of the movie “Margin Call”. The speech by the CEO to Kevin Spacey says it all. “We (Wall Street) can’t help ourselves”.

It's say it's the Big Mac.

It's not called a "mac attack" for nothing.

It must suck that you didn't get all those captain seats how about we just give you a million dollars more than you would have made at a smaller carrier and ****. Because last time I checked the SW pilots got nothing. No extra pay, no bonus, no stock options just delayed movement and more people that came in on top of them.

Funny thing is most are over it but you keep that chip on your shoulder as I am sure it is making you lots of friends.
