What I do have is a passion to see this industry continue with its turnaround. Both from a labor perspective as well as an overall company perspective. This job is amazing. We operate as an efficient machine right now.
See the post I quoted above. If ERflyer’s simple yet accurate comment doesn’t sink in with you I do not know what to tell you captain sir.

It's really a shame too, because I would trade places with you in a NY second. Maybe I am misreading your posts, but if you are as miserable as you come across here, it will be a long bitter career. Hopefully you will never know what it is really like to be in an industry that is really trying to **** you at every turn.
Have a nice day.

I wrote my reps imploring them to take it down.
It's a concessionary item that is already past its negotiated expiration date, plus there are too many threats with it down range. I'd rather kill it now (actually months ago).

Billions of dollars of stock buy backs, millions of dollars in purple uniforms. And they need us to give them a virtual base. Wake up. Let them open a base.
Virtual bases wasn't anything WE wanted. Too many union guys want to be the next Lee Moak, a union superstar. Write your reps and pull it down. Poor Delta can afford to open a base in MCO without our help.

It's a trial right now which gives us leverage, we give the company a free taste and if they don't like it then it can die a peaceful death (my highly preferred option), but if they want some more crack then let's not roll over for $.05/hour per diem...
