So true. My husband's company has an onsite gym with a personal trainer and showers which have any toiletries you'd want including sunscreen and toothbrushes!! A nurse who you can go to anytime if you feel sick and they give flu shots on site. He has a 4 yr degree. I was slept on a disgusting couch in the crew lounge with about 10 other crewmembers, including captains, to catch a 6 am commute flight home because I couldn't afford a hotel. We are suckers. It's all about the dangling carrot in front of us. My dad earned $800 a month in 1976 to fly 737's. In 40 years that has barely doubled. Seems wrong.
