Exactly, as long as we love our job, and have a passion for what we do, we will always be poor. It's about time we all showed how miserable we are and how much we hate those stupidheads in management. Sounds like a solid plan
Sorry brah, not buying it. If anything, pilots who love their work and have dedicated their lives to this profession are the ones making headway toward improving pay and schedules for everyone. A strong, dedicated, professional group of pilots will always have more bargaining power than a group of weak, selfish, miserable pilots. Not JMHO, it's a basic principle of negotiations
Edit: I get what you're saying about not selling out...but now that you're a part of this industry (you've already sold out), what positive steps are you taking on a daily basis to improve our profession?
2nd Edit: It made me happy to see my ex-QX brothers stand up against mgmt's proposed TA. What a joke, you guys deserve better! Keep showing GJ & Co. that you guys EARN your pay on a daily basis, and a COLA on your pay each year is not too much to ask
