"...way too many benefits"???!!! You are out of touch with reality. Maybe 15 years ago the benefits were great, but that ceased to be the case, especially after 9-11. Airline employees lost nearly half their pay, sick days, vacation and pensions. I was a ticket agent, so I speak from experience. I still loved my job, but security issues for the passengers added a lot of stress to their travel experience, and increased our stress in dealing with them. Layoffs left us with little or no help in doing our jobs in a timely manner or even with a smile on bad weather days when flights cancelled and tempers were short. Get a grip with today's reality in air travel. It isn't what it used to be on so many levels.
