Most of the guys I heard whining when I was at Pinnacle were the ones WITHOUT degrees saying exactly what you are. The guys with the degrees didn't really care. The ones whining were the ones saying "I don't know why they require just a piece of paper." Who cares? They require it. Either get it or keep whining.
*I* reek of entitlement? I see requirements and if I want the job, I go out and make it to where I meet or exceed said requirements. How is that "entitlement?" Entitlement would be saying they should change the requirements to meet me since I'm "professional" and "do the same job already." I'm not sure that word means what you think it means.....
I agree, he/she is saying you reek of entitlement because you are arguing to actually go out and
work to meet the requirements of the job? Entitlements are getting something you didn't work for; you didn't work for your college degree but you are still 'entitled' to the interview with Delta. That is exactly what the SSP is doing. If anything you are arguing the opposite of entitlements - if you want something go out and work for it.
So the Union lied about this deal not lowering the industry bar? If Skywest and Xpress have to be the second cheapest option then this did lower the bar and our own possible future salary. They told us it would not effect wages in the regional sector. They made backdoor deals and then hid this information from their own members? This whole deal was very shady. They also insinuated numerous times that we would be getting more than the promised planes if the deal passed. I don't believe a word they say anymore. I can't believe 85% fell for this, how much longer before pilots start working for free?
