If I were you I'd go to law school get your degree get hired by an airline, proceed to take everything from the pilot's that we and your father enjoy(ed). That plan would have more vertical movement than where we sit today. Once you get to mid-level management. Then, you can tell those who care to correct your grammar that they don't mean squat. You see, there is a group everywhere you go that enjoy kicking a new guy and forget where they came from. Good Luck, no sarcasm intended. This job is not what it used to be for us or those before us. I'm afraid to say it will probably get worse. Our unions tell us they are working to make improvements, maybe. The problem is the Railway Labor Act (RLA) has removed all of the teeth of our bite. The last strike by a major airline lasted one day when it was cancelled by presidential order. Our union loves the RLA, without it we don't need them. You get a far better shake in the courts than by any arbitrator. It's almost impossible to get to court in our business because of the RLA and the company’s ability to pre-empt.
