Pooch, where'd ya get the avatar of Skyhigh?
Lets keep in mind boys and girls that the grass is always greener over the septic tank.
The notion of a period of time where no pilots apply out of protest for wages is like one poster said a delusion of granduer. Its also a delusion to think that currently employed line pilots will all take a stand and refuse to fly until wages are brought back to reasonable levels. All of the folks on here that outwardly scream about banding together as a pilot group to wage war against management secretly just vote in these **** poor contracts anyway. Do I think pilot pay is a joke right now? ABSOLUTELY. Am I a line pilot just for the sheer joy of flying? NOT ANYMORE. As much as I abhor management and what they feel is equitable pay for what we do (which is a joke), if I take a stand and try to rise up against the man for better wages and QOL I know most of the rest of the pilot group will leave my cheese twisting in the wind. Sad to say it but you know its true.
