Try learning a little about the history of airline pilots before you post such ignorance based on your own "me first" attitude.

Carl lecturing me about 'appalling ignorance'...now THAT is funny.

Reading comprehension, Carl...reading comprehension.

I specifically wrote LAST TWO DECADES. You know, the post-Eastern Air Lines era when, despite numerous scope & bankruptcy concession opportunities to do so, not a single pilot group sacrificed themselves and their careers for the 'betterment' of the airline pilot profession and shut their company down.

Not US Airways

Not Delta

Not Northwest

Not United

And not Frontier.

Hell, NWA Mechanics showed more stones than any pilot group the last 10 years standing up to management demands and look what that got them...
