Then, one is informed that one is selfish if one votes in one's own best interests. . . ???
It is truly sad that so many f/as have decided that their worth has a low ceiling. Maybe it really does. If you haven't pursued some kind of intellectual or skill advancement, those failed contracts really were the key to your future. Fine, but try to have tolerance for those of us who do have skills, and a life outside the airline, and know our worth, not to mention the current profit numbers of US.
some of us just flat out didn't want that many changes to our work-life balance.
G/P,
Perhaps the only SHORT answer I can provide to you is that when a person votes for a TA knowing full well that many others are barely living in below poverty wages, then yes, it is selfish to not vote for the TA especially when as you put it 'it is just too inconvenient for your tastes.' I shall also not forget to add that the self worth you propose, the expression of worth ala "let them eat cake" is what is truly devisive.
I stood to loose more than a few things, but still voted for it because thats what people who are self aware and have self esteem do. Seeking and needing your self esteem to be validated by money or contract rules should be the definition of zombie. Apparently, you and your supreme education must have missed out on the cause and negative effects of the human condition. There are some things that school just doesn't teach you. Apparently living in a religious center such as it is hasn't done much for spreading love everywhere.
"The love you take is equal to the love you make" ...one day you'll see, you'll know.
Until then, be happy knowing that you have kept a large amount of our flight attendents in poverty wages. ..just so your self esteem wouldn't take a beating and so that for the sake of convenience you wouldn't have to change your life one iota.
Your parents must be so proud of you.
