" I spent 33+ years with the company and rarely got any respect from all the junior folks, even though we spent those years making it the airline it was and NOW it&#39;s their turn".

I can see why? This pyramid system, I lay down my pack while the juniors come in and carry MY LOAD. I see alot of that going on. And all this talk about LOYAL SERVICE. BUUUUUUULLLLLLLL.......The only loyalty I see in the airlines is loyalty to their big checks. They could care about loyalty to the airlines as they could care less about your expendibility.[/b]

Nobody carried my load. If anything, I spent a good part of my time bailing out the junior folks. All I was asking of those folks was some respect for what we had done, that&#39;s all. Some of them think that the history of DL begins with the day they hired on.

And I seem to get from your reply that you think I was some management type when I talked about my loyalty to the company. Nope, I was just a grunt like the rest.....worked in cargo at ORD....ramp in SHV and ops and cargo at SLC.
