The last time I contributed, I was accused of being a managment or recruiter wannabe. Many of us here are not exactly thrilled with the new pay structure or the apparent delays in upgrade, however, for VERY many of us this job is still better than our previous ones, some of which no longer exist. Not a wannabe, just a realist. Outside there aint pretty.
To the guys that have options, such as returning to their former left seat positions, why all the noise? Get your old job back, check with your lawyer (or better yet get yourself fired from EK, thereby avoiding the bond thing), and get out quickly and quietly.
I don't have any options, so I'm stuck and making the best of what is a very good job, by any standard. For you others, I am truly happy for you and hope things work out. I just can't understand why you would come on this forum and moan and groan like little girliemen. What are you hoping to achieve? You want support, ok, we hereby give it to you!!
