The 'S' Word
"I can appreciate that these people have waited and waited for so long and would initially see this as an exciting opportunity of a life time. It will be more like a living nightmare."
Um..no..Maaaate...my stalled career as a Flight Attendant is not 'an opportunity of a lifetime' as you so euphemistically put it.
It's a job like any other. My passion. What I have devoted my time and energy to over the last decade.
And the living nightmare that you describe will surely be no worse than the previous two and half years post-AN collapse trying to feel the same passion for something else outside of this industry.
You make the best of a bad situation and move on- which may I suggest you (the ppruners tagging Contractors 'Strikebreakers') learn to do.
Management will not reverse this decision - deal with it.
You will be wasting your time and energy on directing your anger and frustration at the 'Strikebreakers' and will only highlight your inability to deal with change.
