Goretex,
Could not agree more. If they had offered me what we actually have now I would not be here. The package that was on the table in '07/early'08 was much better than what they shoved down our throats in fall '08. I know that I and many of my coworkers who started in '07/early '08 feel very cheated. Keep in mind we are the same group who spent up to a year+ in temporary accommodation when we showed up. In fact, I was still in temp when they announced the pay cuts, fleet transfer and upgrade changes and lifestyle degradation policies. My friends who were already here in '07 showed me their bottom bid rosters from that time and now they would be a dream in 2nd top.
OK, the inevitable question, "why don't you leave then?" I'll give them until May to step up and give us what we deserve and make the package what they need to fill the recruiting quota. If they don't then I, along with many of my friends, will be actively looking for anything else.
