Grey Ghost,
So, how bad have you screwed up that after 15 years at Midwest, you HAVE to work for a regional making peanuts? Are you kidding me?! Sounds like your bitterness comes from the fact that you failed to plan for the worse. You thought your job was secure and when reality came knocking, you try to blame your lack of preparation on everyone but yourself. I have been at Frontier for 10+ years and have been planning on it failing ever since. If Frontier goes away tomorrow, I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn't have to go work for some sh!tty regional making $20,000 a year and crying about how I've been screwed. As a matter of fact, the way things are going with my "back up plan", I almost feel like things would be better for me if Frontier does go away--it would force me to focus even more on that. But hey, you got screwed (by your own lack of planning), so you have the right to screw others. Geesh, I would have thought you were old enough to know better.
