Just alot of stress in being the one that upper managagement is trying to force to "quit", or "run off". I talked to 3rd shift management this morning, and they are welcoming me with open arms, and assure me that I will be okay, and they will look out for me..These are my friends, and I do look forward to working with them...Everyone seems to agree with me, except the Union, who I pay $90 a month for absolutely NOTHING...I threw my 10 year pin in the garbage in front of upper management yesterday, as it means NOTHING. I will be receiving my 15 year pin next January, and it too will go in the garbage...I have had so many thoughts of how to "get back", or "get even", but my wife (Zoom Girl), says that will just be letting them win, and give them a real reason to fire me, which is right, of course. I've been through thick and thin with this company, when flight 592 went into the everglades, did I jump ship like 98% of the other mechanics...Nope, I had loyalty then, and contributed hours without pay to see the airline that I loved so much prosper. I bent over backwards for the very poorly managed (and is worse now) company that was once ValuJet, and has become Airtran. Im stuck here, and they know I have no choice but to do what they want. The mechanic that actually left the rig pin in that busted the rudder quadrant, got ZERO punishment, where I was forced to resign. This was not, by any means my fault, just because I was there. How am I to come to work everyday with a good attitude? All the mechanics now look at me like I've got a death date stamped across my forehead. I just find comfort in my everyday prayers, that I make a point to do every day and night with my wife, and we are gaining strength every day. God does everything for a reason, and is not going to put anything before us that we can't handle as healthy spirit filled Christians...Thank you all for letting me vent, as this helps tremendously...I simply get on my trusty Triumph, and ride into the night at least once a week, which fills my soul with determination and joy....
