I suspect you like many of us got in to this career for a few reasons. One was that you loved flying, but the other one was that you could make decent money doing what you loved. I further suspect you opted for aviation because of the pay and benefits versus another career. I know I did.
Glad to hear you talking like that again, ACL. How does that fly with your MEC buddies?
But I'm also hearing a tone of resignation. Don't give up. This career can still be restored. It won't be easy... but nothing worthwhile ever is. We need to set restoration as our objective and then set out to achieve it with an unwavering commitment and resolve. Are you starting to figure out that the current predominant thinking in DALPA is not going down that road?
