What surprises me is that I have seen pilots who are much older and have much more to lose stand up to management. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but at least they have the guts and integrity to fight for their futures.

Young pilots who are frightened by airlines into agreeing to contracts that are shameful to the industry need to stop arguing in favor of their overlords and grow a pair. After all, what have you got to lose?? A job that pays minimum wages in the face of an industry that is short of pilots! It would not take very long to get another airline job in this economy. Starting over after one or three or five years is nothing compared to the pilots from the majors who have twenty years invested and then stand up and fight for their compensation. Besides, if you get furloughed, you sometimes have preferential hiring at other union carriers.

So stop bashing the guy who comes up with the balls to try to rally support for your future and back him up with some constructive arguments and ideas instead of spending so much time and effort working against yourselves.

Argue for your limitations and they are yours.
