No, professionalism is being able to discuss something and convey your message without resorting to not just name calling, but excessive personal attacks.
I didn't make any videos. I want a defined contribution plan, much higher per diem, much higher wages, EFB's, etc. I also want LESS flying here (and all regionals), with m ore flying at the majors. But I'm also a realist. I know that just not wages, but massive total compensation increases are fighting an uphill battle. Does this mean I will cave, and take whatever the company will offer? No, I'm willing to fight for better, and even the best. But I know that we will never attain what we want (FO topping out at $70/hr, pensions, etc), but I will work for what we need to make a better life. Not just for myself, but for others, and future aviators that come into this profession.
