Clearly, it seems so to you. The problem is that you have characterized other pilots' assertions of what they deem as being readily achievable as being what they believe we deserve and should be paid. You then decry that position,
which you yourself have attributed to them, as evidence that they are working against our (and presumably their) own best interest.
It seems pretty self evident to me that this is quite a stretch.

Who says I don't? Frankly, that has my full support. You just don't want to believe that because I also make realistic comparisons between today and the late 90's, in terms of the negotiating environment, and I don't agree with labelling those who would dare to disagree as being some sort of undercover agent sent here to work against us.
