The thread starters post is a blue copy of the exact conditions in my outfit. Remove the reference of orange, and it would fit perfectly. I believe there are many out there that searches for that last decent airline to work for, but they have all disappeared. There are simply too many disadvantages with taking the whole family to the sandpit or Asia, and no job security whatsoever. The only option left is a change of career when the current airline finally sucks the last bit of motivation out of you.
