She could go to a totally different industry, but she'd be starting her career over again at the bottom.

She loves flying & traveling, so she'd probably want to go to another airline.

So why didn't your girlfriend research the industry she was going into? Just because she loves flying and traveling doesn't mean she had to make a career out of being a flight attendant.

And it's not like she was a the top of her "career" anyway as a flight attendant, so what's the big deal.

Your sense of entitlement is disturbing, but pretty common.

You're missing the point. She was treated very well at Northwest pre-merger and at Delta until the union vote failed. She's have to take a major pay cut to reboot her career. I'm not saying that due to a sense of entitlement. That's a fact. But other than the recent changes, she likes her job, so she's started volunteering for the union and otherwise actively working to improve the situation for her and her coworkers.

Your willingness to parrot the party line (specifically the word "entitlement") is disturbing, but pretty common.
