You are correct.

Not helping anyone but mgmt? Lets say you succeed in preventing anyone from ever going to silver and the place goes under and puts everyone here on the streets would you be happy your former brothers are unemployed? Sure we deserve better. Everyone does. I still believe I will upgrade sooner here than starting over at any other airline in the country and that is what I need to get a job I am proud of. I don't ask that people stop speaking truth. Truth is education for everyone else out there looking for employment. You can choose to comment or not as that is your choice. We need FO's for upgrades to happen. We all do. That is all I care about. 2 or 3 upgrade classes and I will be one of those people in out station bases complaining about QOL. I don't ask that you be part of the solution just not the problem. If you care not about anyone you used to work with then do what you will that's your choice.
Let me sum things up here. Out station basing sucks. Lines at these bases are not commutable. Days off at these and other bases are too few. Pay is always inaccurate when payroll reports come out and yes ALWAYS inaccurate. We are paid less on the saabs than the previous owners of the aircraft. Management knows the issues and doesn't care. There is a genuine bad attitude from all of management towards pilots. We are all treated like soulless numbers. Our CP worked hard early on to earn a reputation that rivals Hitler. Did I get it all? Things of this nature merrit mature discussion. I am ok with discussions, but if someone comes on here with questions about possibly applying let them ask and give accurate informative answers not condescending rhetoric. I need someone to take my seat over.
