Buck,
Your right, most of us had a love/hate relationship with the company. Walking a picket line is about as much fun as you can have with your pants on
But, I look back with pride on what all those before us built. It took big danglies to fly the mail in an old fashioned airplane between MSP and Chicago (via MKE) in the winter. Or, to build a bridge up to Alaska and beyond to Asia in a DC-4. Some tough/brave old dudes for sure.
So, I'm now one with the widget........
