The public doesn't even know what airline they are flying on most the time...ask someone from the public if they know who mesa is or colgan...they don't have a clue they think they are flying on the legacy carriers just in smaller planes...they assume the guys up front are making tons of money for transporting them safely...the public has no idea how many hours you have nor would they consider that when buying their ticket online...lowest bidder wins...it sucks but thats business


p.s. - I wish i made more money
