Absolutely agree that there are much worse places to be. I love it here. But with every recommendation for and against there should be a little asterisk that says (*your results may vary). Our biggest issue is that we can't agree on what we want in these negotiations.

The one thing that I take away is that 90% of the people I fly with are either content or happy in their jobs. And that includes guys with double no's who have decided to just be ok with it and move on.

While back someone told me that if you try to find a reason to hate this job you'll find it around every corner, and that stuff will eat you alive if you let it.

Eagle didn't put that bad of a taste in my mouth. I think it's a good deal for a young person. I just like it here much better than Eagle. Like you I've had to deal with the Regional stuff off and on for 15 years. I'm just saying stop selling yourself short and stop accepting the norm. I have been here for less than a year. Like you I've been thru airline bankruptcy. I was also the guy who had a class date at an airline in October of 2001 I've seen it as well. I'm just saying stop accepting the norm and thinking the worst. Enjoy the journey my friend. It's been interesting so far.

I'm thrilled to be here. Timing was on my side but I enjoy the flying and the people we have. No complaints at all.

Only two pages of people below me out of 26 pages. Here's to hoping for ATL.
