Honestly? I dislike the atmosphere as of late - a subtle &#39;something&#39; that has permeated things for the last few months - I&#39;ve heard some serious horror stories and have had some pretty unpleasant experiences myself once it was known that I was not "Original Delta" (but this doesn&#39;t ALWAYS happen - on my actual flight to and from EZE the crew were absolutely wonderful and welcoming) - Sea-Tac has become a really unpleasant place to fly out of, no matter which airline you&#39;re traveling on.

I suppose that if you&#39;re working res, you may have more of an incentive to go with a union due to job security. Obviously, with online reservations taking over, it&#39;s harder to justify keeping a full phone staff from 15 years ago. My next-door neighbors from back home (good family friends) worked in res. The wife is still there, the other was able to get an early retirement package. They&#39;ve told stories about entire sections right next to them getting the boot. Then again, those jobs are unionized, too. I&#39;m really not sure if this is a case of a weak union, or if things would be much worse otherwise.
