A real deal pilot wouldn't throw your B.S. around here bro. I slaved away and got walked on by management at Lakes Air but at least we had the sack to organize and attempt change. The support we recieved from the Teamster's was nothing short of weak, that doesn't change my belief in labor organization. Whether you like it or not you are in the contract labor business and you are the cost unit. When the tough times come you will see the light, whether it be ALPA, Teamster's, Indy union, etc.
Regarding your assanine W2 comment: My W2 was probably half yours at Lakes, but I'd bet you couldn't hand-fly your way out of a paper bag in your shiny Barbie Jet. You want to run numbers, bring em to this ex-1900 driving Maddog pilot.
