We're not very good. That's why we should temper our expectations and go with the flow on scope and be constructive engagers who are quiet team players who know their place is at the bottom of the totem poll.
We're simply a liability asset required by law.
You know who is really good at being airline pilots? FedEx and Southwest pilots. That's why they get so much money. But we're not in their league, that's why we're not comparable.

Excellent post.
Management sends out their little newsletters and updates and trim tabs telling us how wonderful we are and telling us we're doing a great job but its all just bull....
We are still working under the bankruptcy contract while they use their huge cash pile to go out and buy Mexican airline stock.
I wonder if the AeroMexico pilots have a pension?
