Not on this thread, but everywhere else, in my opinion, that many feel like they are the only ones in the USA who have seen these types of industry consolidations, major shifts in how businesses are run.

If your passionate about something (not necessarily an 'industry') you can take that passion somewhere else and be successful and happy.

If Mgt at NW is so bad, you can go somewhere else that has better management, and be happy.

If your benefits or pension are bad, go somewhere else where you get better benefits, and be happy.
