Well put MNR. I lost a job a while back and I didn't have a finger on the industry at the time. I vowed I would never be so unprepared again so my family wouldn't have to go through that again. I keep a membership on 350 as well. This way I know what is going on. I keep my network running as well. I felt very secure in the job that I lost. Had no reason to think it would ever go away. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Would I leave this job? Sure. If it were to FedEx, SWest, or a very secure job in my home town with great quality of life, benefits, and pay. I don't see the latter happening anytime soon. As for FedEx and SWest. It's all a crap shoot there. So Ritz, if you want to bash me and try to stir up a hornets nest with my employer... go ahead. I'm sure the D.O. knows I have a membership on 350. But, guess what. That's how I found this job. Besides, if I wanted to leave, I have already had plenty of opportunities to do so. I chose to stay here. My check has been here and has always cashed. When I have been questioned about anything by our D.O. I have answered honestly and never have I had a problem with that. I recommend that you, Ritz, keep your comments to yourself. Especially if you do not work for Jetride or Pinnacle. To pick on someone is fine. To potentially screw their livelyhood with heresay is childish and irresponsible.
