You think if oil goes above $100 a barrel that there will be ANY ≤ 50 seaters flying in America?



As far as your extensive experience, you’ve GTBSM! Six loooong years in the industry and 2 whole “airlines” and you’re an expert in representing and demanding the decline of the Aviation industry over the past 30 (or more) years reverse itself? With our little contract, our little airplanes and our low-time, entitled pilots?

One day you’ll look back and see how embarrassing your statement is.

You have absolutely NO clue as to the history of your chosen profession or what constituted “paying your dues!”

I have many friends that have worked for a dozen airlines over a 30 year profession (still flying) and have tens of thousands of hours, some of which may actually end up junior to you one day..

They flew big airplanes with all those little dials and gauges around the world before you were born and before there was one TV screen to stare at the entire flight.

The “good old days” are gone, forever. Like when you sat sideways for 10 years and right seat for another 10 years before you were even close to the left seat. And you're stressed and feel treated unfairly with your whole 6 years.

Go on and enjoy the next 10, 20 30 or 40 years. You’ll go through several airlines, “get screwed by management” and by whatever unions you end up belonging to.
