That is sad but extremely true. We are our own worst enemies at times. Lack of leadership from management created the space and need for unions to exist...and yet we fail our own profession at nearly every turn by taking a giant sh!t on junior pilots.

The pilots with longevity justify their greed/voting with IGNORANT statements of 'they've gotta pay their dues' or 'that's the way it's always been'. That is unacceptable and is a mindset that keeps us where we are...an embarrassment in comparison to ANY other profession.
