I love the fact that no matter how hard I work, how much I learn or how good my attendance is, I'm still after almost 9yrs #10 from the bottom on the seniority pole. And the lazy fat cocksuckers above me will always get preference over me when things slow down. Seniority always wins out. Unions protect the lazy and worthless.

I just can't win…this was suppose to be a positive thread in the middle of all of the negative stuff…

I know there is something you love about your job.
How about the fact that 9 other people will lose their jobs before you?
Or your health benefits?
The fact that you can't just get fired?
How about, if you decide to become lazy and worthless you'll still have a job.

See, now that wasn't so hard.

Ok, I guess you're right. Just caught me at the exact wrong moment.
I love the fact that we have great medical, paid holidays, sick and vacation days, I make enough money that my wife can stay home and be a full time mom. And yes, 9 people below me have it a little worse than I.

14 hrs vac. per month. 8 hrs. sick leave a month. 13, I think, holidays a year. A decent retirement (eventually).
Got 25 years in now. At 55 I'll have 30 years. Not as good of retirement as law enforcement or firefighter but it's been a pretty good gig.

35 paid vacation days a year.
Having fri, sat and sunday off every week without working 10 hour days.
Excellent profit sharing and stock options.
Getting full pay for my current 6 month knee surgery leave is pretty bad ass!
Free flying for myself and the family is pretty cool too but it is space available.
A lot of other perks.

As close to "perfect" job as I can imagine really...
Good wages, benefits, decent environment, good people, some say in my hours, nobody breathing down my neck.
Secure, annual bonus (best ever and paid next week), and I enjoy what I do; use 3D CAM software to program CNC machines making turbine jet engine components.
Only wish it was closer to home or I could tele-comutte...
60 miles each way and the driving has SUCKED worse this winter than ever.

other than the drive I like it all.

35 paid vacation days a year.
Having fri, sat and sunday off every week without working 10 hour days.
Excellent profit sharing and stock options.
Getting full pay for my current 6 month knee surgery leave is pretty bad ass!
Free flying for myself and the family is pretty cool too but it is space available.
A lot of other perks.


Damn!! .... why ever retire from that..

The fact that work is only 15 minutes away from home on neighborhood street driving, living here in L.A., not having to battle it out on a freeway commute is a bonafide bonus. The fact that I work with engines, not people for a living. Engines don't purposely try to screw with you, ( like people ), and any mechanical difficulty is nothing more than a challenge, and there's a solution. There's always something to learn every day. And, just as when I was singing and got to meet so many "names" in that business that I grew up listening to, I now run into many "name "racers that I may have watched or read about in old Hot Rod magazines. I wear a uniform, so I don't have to decide what to wear to work, or thrash my own clothes for work. I can build my own "stuff", not pay others $$$$$ to do it.

Before SWA I worked in Sun Valley at Sunland and La Tuna Canyon. I lived in Upland then and the drive was 55 miles of aggravation so I get it.

I helped out in BUR one night to help cover their Xmas party sometime back in the late 90's. It's been so long I wouldn't remember anybody now...We do have a lot of BUR transplants in ONT.
