My friend, the respect and kudos from your peers should be more important. The bean counters have no idea how challenging our jobs can be at times.

Well done!

Yeah, SWA is in the middle of a tough contract negotiation with us, but the B-day cards and the thank you cards they fwd with the occasional happy customer comments do mean something. I was especially appreciative with both the going away and welcome back package for my last tour in Iraq. It's a good company!

I haven't. Last time I spoke with a good friend of mine there was about three weeks ago, but he liked the pay and the time off last I spoke with him. I haven't heard any complaints about the relations.
