You make that because of market forces and union wages.
You have no voice in your employment and no political voice in govt. A political voice for safety or pay/benefits. You have no professional status. You don't serve the public good with a safety structure, accident investigation, etc... You've no code of ethics.... you show up, work, go home. When your told, were you are told, how you are told.
If you got bought or merged you pilots will be voiceless, stapled and screwed. With a little union precedence and law to help you out.
Good luck.
From the ALPA code of ethics:
He will realize that he represents the airline to all who meet him and will at all times keep his personal appearance and
conduct above reproach
Now do you think your conduct of call pilots names on here is above reproach?
This one is even better.
An Air Line Pilot will conduct his affairs with other members of the profession and with ALPA in such a manner as to bring credit to the profession and ALPA as well as to himself.
That is really all I have to say,and since I am not in ALPA anymore (dues paying member 7.5 years and a committee volunteer for over 5) and you said we are not professionals. I fell very comfortable saying you are a TOOL.
