Get it? The more dis-unity this profession has the more management will take advantage. Either play into it or realize it and act accordingly.
You assumed I fly for a regional. My point exactly.
Totally disagree. My belief is that airline management WANTS us to believe we are all "one and the same" so that they can keep perpetrating their schemes of lowering the bar in a very subtle way. Similar uniforms are just one of those ways.
Every regional pilot doesn't feel "one and the same" at payday every two weeks.
