I accepted a job offer at Learjet on Friday, just before the Hawker-Beechcraft union likely destroyed the company's future in Wichita.

No matter how hard I try, I simply can't conceive voting that you'd rather have no job than take a pay cut. The union brainwashing and arrogance never fails to amaze me. For a bunch of fairly unskilled and uneducated blue collar folks making $27/hr (average) + benefits in the midwest, they sure seem to think they're under-appreciated.

Anyway, I'm pumped about the new opportunity. I'll be doing project/engineering management for the new Lear 85, it should be fun.
