already done. Will do again.
Having a union does not make you a professional pilot no matter how much you want to think it does.
Actually it does. Not having a union and taking the benefits of the union and thinking you are professional is insidious....
But since you want more, other than the definition which you like to ignore
A pilot who is continuously learning.
A pilot who puts the welfare of others (crew, passengers), before his own.
A pilot who does the right thing even when no one is watching
That is cute... I mean like PETA cute....
You've described leadership.... which is a part of professionalism, but it isn't it...
That is what I would call a professional pilot and it is very much what a jetblue pilot is and does.
Silly old man.
Of course...
