Opposed to the Change:Some Greedy Junior pilots

Okay...I have read your rhetorical stuff.
"Some Greedy Junior pilots" This is really pathetic and sad to see someone like yourself whom has had a supposed successful career at a 121 carrier start saying stuff like this.
Do you have a sense of entitlement or something? Why do you think everyone younger than you is out to get you or cheat you??
You know it means more if you put some thought into something and write instead of cutting and pasting
When someone has a weak logical conclusion about an issue, usually the first thing they do is make personal attacks and rhetorical comments...
