You feel strongly about, well, whatever it is you feel strongly about. Work rules, the state of the industry, etc. I would say some on our side feel a little different.
I don't see why I have to be less divisive. My comment above is humorous. PizzaPilot posted out of strong emotions and published erroneous numerical data, only to confess later. Am I not allowed to post a funny picture? I will not apologize that you've taken offense.
I believe my views would be apart of the solution.
Humorous
Lets not open a pandora box of endless arguments. The debate about quality and cost of higher education in the country has no foreseeable end insight. Do you believe a doctor, lawyer, or trash man receive adequate compensation? The complexities of our industry and competitiveness of others drive our wages. We are where we can sustain a business.
He admitted that he was wrong. Something you don't seem capable of. I haven't taken any offense to what you have posted in fact I pity you. The last paragraph above is a losers argument. You've resigned to the "opinion" that this is all we can get out of this industry. I've seen that repeatedly from the likes of JoeMerchant and Captain Tony on this board and ours. It is a defeatist mentality to not want more than what we have. Because what we have is nothing. Either join the ranks who think we deserve better wages and QOL in this industry or S7FU.
There is a difference between a defeatist attitude and a rational attitude. What the XJT MEC is doing will cost your entire pilot group big time. It'll be the regional version of Airtran MEC vs SWAPA/Gary Kelly
