Yes I can blame them, and no on the whole I don't trust them pleasant as many of them are. I have been backstabbed (and frontstabbed) in this profession too many times to believe anything that anyone says.
It wasn't always like that. Back fresh on the 73 fleet back in '04 life was wonderful... but there was me thinking that all colleagues acted in their colleagues (and friends) best interests. Jaded yes. Cynical.. most definitely. I've been screwed one too many times and it wasn't always the management circus either.
