And furthermore...
We may not like it, but the baton has been passed to us.
We need to speak for ALL airline pilots when we say NO! to more outsourcing.
As professional pilots, we are held to a higher standard of expectation and behavior than ANYONE in our nation.
We need to communicate that we are WORTH our pay, we DESERVE good health benefits and we DESERVE a retirement and we REQUIRE decent scheduling rules.
Seat numbers shouldn't be the measure of what a pilot is worth or deserves, and we will not trade away our principles for anything.
