Selfish has to do with any mainline pilot voting to outsource boatloads of flying to 'regionals' flying 86,000 jets on mainline routes. Thinking about themselves instead of people in their 20s and 30s trying to establish themselves in this career.
IE, sustaining thousands of express/eagle/connection jobs at food stamp wages, in order to sustain 'mainline' wages.
The shrinking of the middle class, pulling up the rope as they call it.
We are always stronger when we work together, instead of letting management fragment us apart.
