My inside source on JFK crew lounge activity tells me that the place is a mad house, mobbed with people, and lots of complaining and "F Comair" going on.
There are less smiles, more grumbling. Though I did see a smile on the face of one of the HR lackies today. Wanted to smack it off when I walked by! He was just tooo happy. I know I'm moving up to Delta when something opens up, if something good opens up at Tech Ops.

For each married pilot missing his or her spouse/family while commuting, there is an unmarried one that is likely missing the opportunity to have a spouse/family due to the commuting lifestyle.
Both situations are equally frustrating. Although I'm sure unintentional, it is common for one to diminish another's situation by inflating the value of his/her own hardships while failing to recognize or diminish the hardships of his brother/sister.
