I have told coworkers several times that things do not seem fair but that is life. Here a pilot may spend years of training and gaining experience for what? 80 grand in the left seat of a regional being responsible for 50 or 75 passengers?
People take their utilities for granted until they do not have it then whine. We must bust our butts to get them back in service. Until I started this job I never had a clue about a utility behind the scenes. Trust me, when utilities go out people are doing everything they can to get them going again while being safe so nobody gets hurt.
