We all got into this industry to do what we love.
We dont need to point fingers or wish ill on others or put down company policies/procedures because of the uniform they wear. If your not happy with contracts/pay/QOL, tough. This is the nature of the business right now. Whether your at GLA,MESA,FedEx or Southwest you all knew the conditions of the company you applied/work for. All this bickering about how mine is better than yours is garbage. "Cowboy up" and fly. If you dont like it leave. Many of our airline bro/sisters who are on the street will gladly fill your spot.

That's a pretty brash statement! While I have no doubt as the economy plays out its downturn there will be reductions in demand for travel and subsequent pain in our industry, I think its a bit far-reaching to say "most of us in the airline industry" will lose our jobs, especially in the next 3 months.
Do expect more bad news and furloughs through '09, though.

Allow me to correct myself; a lot of us will lose our jobs in the next few months. If you think this statement is harsh, you need a reality check. With all the job losses in the USA and globally, less people will have the resources to travel. With a lot of companies downsizing in this economy, the number of business travelers will decline as will. This all equates to less flying and reduced capacities.
