Well Stan, each to their own. It's the exception that confirms the rule.

For me (and most others) leaving the low cost aviation hell has been a total blessing, and that's why you see more and more pilots trying to make the switch to majors or charter airlines and not the other way around. Once again, there are always exceptions, but it's clearly not the rule.

Obviously you love the place, especially when compared to AAI. Now AAI, there's a real industry benchmark for excellent pay, excellent conditions and rock solid SOP's! I can now understand why you perceive FR as an improvement, but just because you like jumping from the frying pan into the fire, it does not mean that you have to drag everybody down with you. Obviously a lot of others are not happy and are sick and tired of seeing their T&C's erode further and further and are thinking about strikes and unionizing.

Think about it Stan, if all is so rosy in FR, then why is the management so desperately trying to keep unions out? Even SWA is unionized!
