Sure, other airline pilots have complaints, but complaining that your crew meal is cold isn't quit on the same level as, "I can't afford to retire at this rate."
CLMP nailed it. Disco, the "if you don't like it, why don't you leave" line is old. First, if everyone did that, like CLMP said, there would be no place to go. Someone has to complain and get the ball rolling for higher pay and better QOL.
Second, most of us came to this airline when things were a lot different, and the airline has changed, not the pilots. Why should we leave? Let management leave. They can make lateral moves.
Many of us have invested a lot of time here, time we will never get back. Starting over at another carrier means back to the bottom. Many would rather attempt to improve this airline before resorting to that plan, especially since this management style will spread like cancer in the industry if it succeeds.
Now, to use your own line disco, if you don't like to read complaints, go somewhere else to read while we complain. That should be much easier for you than it is for us to move to another airline.
