[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4368403, member: 58386"] After reading the comments on this thread it seems safe to say that if you're a 20+ years of service kind of guy at Express you should still be ok. For the new people on the payroll and for those on their way Express work will simply be another part time job that you chain up to your other 2 or 3 part time jobs.But for the guys in that 35-50 age group with less than 20 years in that's the ones who seem the most vulnerable to a real upheaval in their lives. About all they can do is get out of debt or at least try to retire as much of it as they can in an effort be prepared as best they can for what could be one of the most unexpected events they thought could never occur . Being downgraded to part time work if not laid off altogether. In his interview with Bloomberg Fat Freddy made no attempt to hide his anger over unflattering articles regarding the future of his company and made it quite clear that his company would come hell or high water be the lowest cost carrier in the industry . In the meantime I would strongly discourage anyone from going over to Ground. The physical beating you'll take in exchange for a few years of hellish employment is just not worth it. Instead, get a haircut and get a real job. [/QUOTE]
