Truth. Although now that they give you the snack bag and you can order semi-edible meals, I think it may have lost top spot to the four hour wait in the van in Shenzhen.

In the current hiring environment I suspect a lot of people who would normally stand pat are moving to their “dream” job and you will see a lot more movement between the top destination airlines.

I just did the four hour wait twice this week. The cherry on the cake was the lack of sanitation facilities while we waited. The food was marginally better than my previous trip, but still pretty egregious.

All true. We’re seeing folks coming here from the majors BUT some are also leaving us for other airlines. Within the last 6 months we had a guy who left for Delta (I think?) even though he’s already on second year pay. Said he’s ok with a pay cut if it meant better QoL. Don’t know all the circumstances but I think he lived in a delta domicile. A few have left for fdx.

In the end people need to do what they believe is best for them and for their families.
