I respect my fellow crewmember that has busted balls to get here.
I respect my fellow crewmember that busts ball every year to stay here.
I respect those who have sacrificed before me to make this a great career.
I respect those with more experience than me, as they show me the way.
I respect my F/O who tries his darndest to keep me out of trouble.
I respect what it takes to persevere and succeed in the biz.
I respect those who bring the best they have to the game and don't quit under pressure.
I could go on.
Once again, if you don't respect the profession, you don't belong in the biz.
that sounds like you respect the person not the profession but I can live with that. you never answered #1 though. why should they get out if they don't respect the profession.
do you respect the pilot who will step on someones toes because they are just trying to get ahead.
do you respect a pilot who will only look at a contract and see that they are taken care of and not worry about the pilots junior to them.
do you respect the pilot who doesn't care that a regional, who flew for them, just lost 100% of it's flying because the stood up to management.
do you respect a pilot who doesn't care about anyone else except themself while talking about unity at the same time.
