It’s “something I should really think about, because it’s better than anything I could hope for at my current job”. I honestly have no clue if he was just ****ing with me to get a rise outta me or if he was dead serious. I’m pretty good at tuning out all the vacuous ****heads I encounter every day, but we were both deadheading on the same flight and jockeying for position in the boarding area.🙄🙄

I agree with your opinion and would be upset too.
On the other hand I just can’t go along with being a republic lifer in the current hiring boom. Unless you are over 60 and just putting in the time there isn’t a reason to stay.
Best of luck to you regardless.

How about the San Antonio city council from banning Chik-Fil-A from the airport.

It’s pure political. SAT is on a fast track to be next sfo, city is ran by extreme progressives.
