Fact is different things are important to different people.

Good point!

Not sure why some people feel the need to express their discontent for a place on that thread in a poor attempt to make others feel as bad as they do. Take your negativity and move on. Dont forget that there is something bad at every regional, and if someone expects that one regional is perfect, they have a poor distorted view about that company and reality. We all know the bad things people have to say about this place (been said so many times), so unless there is new information to continue the bashing, keep quiet.

20, I think, hiring indefinite. Plus huge f/a classes. SO looks like you guys will be in class at the same time as our new f/a's start up.

Well we're new hires so I wasn't here for that, as were the NEW OWNERS.
New ownership have already given us a lot of perks, a "g" note for a bonus, taking good care of us, etc. Hell, when they took over they raised starting pay also. So I am sure if they and the union here seems something that needs to be addressed they will, or whatever.
