I'm not sure you understand.

They're check airman, they're management, they're in the CPO, they fly all the senior aircraft on the senior trips, get weekends off and every holiday.

They don't care about you.

They don't care about me.

If you want to fly crappy low paying trips over the weekends, fine.

If you want weekends off, holidays off, high productivity to yield more days off - you'll be flying with a scap or a mafia member who grabbed the trip before anyone else could.

That's just life.

Whatever their past sins were, they'll pay for them in the afterlife.

For now, Satan is living up to his end of the deal and providing them with the life they wanted.

Do I like it - no.

But to bid around these guys costs me money and time away from my family.

You can be the pariah and sacrifice yourself on the fire of virgins.

I'll take the weekends off with my family and make the trips as pleasant as I can.
