You hit the nail on the head not once but twice.

Will you be saying the same thing 6 years from now? Are you going to keep doing what you have been doing or will you do something to change what you can? Will you be blaming someone who is not giving you what you deserve?

The boat you are in is not unusual or unreasonable. To stay in that boat is.

I am back in school working on a transition to another profession. So, I am not sitting around whining and doing nothing, I am doing something about it.
It was fun while it lasted but time to move on.

I agree, and when pay rates drop and quality of life drops, so does customer service and safety. When consumers realize this, then maybe they'll be willing to pay more.

I am going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there....

If Walmart was still selling the lead infested chineese toys there will be trailer trash willing to pay for it. Cheap toys for their kids Christmas is all they want. Who cares about the long term effects. Dec 25th they will be happy!

$49 coast to coast...in an RJ...and i betcha you will sell all your seats! I believe people would rather give up a little safety then some $$$.

The keyword in my previous quote was "maybe." You're could be right though. We're all too dumb and too worried about saving the all mighty dollar to save the future. I.E. buying crap from Wal-mart from China and other countries besides the U.S. (not being sarcastic)
