ahhh the standard saying "why are you still here," managements wet dream response to non conformists. Blue, what if a company said to you that you were to make 25% less tomorrow? how about 26% less? 27%? Would that be enough to just leave or do you keep hoping and praying for better? Ah shucks, throw us a scrap here and there and we can make it work right? If fellow pilots responded to your complaints of inadequate compensation with "just leave" do you think that would help advance us as a group? If a company made 52 million in profit and said they would reduce medical benefits shortly thereafter would that be appropriately compensating you for the responsibility you endure throughout your career? It never ceases to amaze me the turd sandwich one is willing to munch on in the name of keeping the peace.

I think just being quiet is the way to go, yeah, be nice and eventually you will be taken care of. Management will take care of me right? I should trust my family's well being on people who I have never met. I should just pray they do the right thing for me and if they don't I will just pray harder cause its worked in the past right? Never disagree or raise legitimate issues cause they will all just magically work themselves out. I have found that waiting a little bit longer, say 10 more years will be enough time. By then new management will have a note that says the previous management promised way back in 2012 to take care of the guys so it will be done!

One thing is for sure, there will never be a shortage of people coming to work for less money and to take less without complaining.
