For me it means flying an MD 11 with the basic pay of a regional jet, no seniority, long days and nights, no upgrade perspective, no sick leave, poor maintenance, etc , and yet , somehow, think that it will get better someday.
My fault for accepting the job ? Maybe, but I have bills to pay, my former airline went broke and thatīs whatīs left until I can bail out to another job.
Only god knows how much I would love to fly for fedex or ups...
