Besides, my rant was partially intended to those looking in.
I do not want to get into a ****ing match but I find it insulting that you tell me that I am free to leave. I was walking with a sign in my hand. You were not. I was furloughed from this place along with another 120ish for two years. You were not. Nobody with 5-7+ years seniority range is "free to leave". It is very expensive to do that in terms of QOL and total pay before retirement.
What I wrote is true. I could go on and post more. Way more. You all could. You too! You want to hide the laundry. How are we going to fix problems by dressing up the pig?
Lol- I'm not hiding anything- and even pointed out already that I don't disagree with what you said. LIKE I SAID- I just don't think a public forum is the place for you to post YOUR experience, if it makes it sound like ANY of our captains left with an open write-up. There are many people that view these forums thAt can take that kind of statement the wrong way. From the general flying public, to some high school kid writing a paper.
Be offended all you want. I am VERY thankful for the NK pilots that walked that line- good for you- COMPLETELY IRRELAVENT to my point.
I started airline flying 20 years ago- and the ONE thing I know is; it's no fun to fly with a whiner. Hence the "free to leave comment." I didn't mean it quite as harshly as you took it. I just hate flying with people that complain, and do nothing to fix the problem.
