Of course it doesn't make you a whiny and snively pilot. What makes one a whiny and snively pilot is one who whines and snivels. I'm sure you can make a great case as to why I shouldn't be on a CRJ or ERJ. The fact remains the opportunity is there, and I will pursue the best opportunities I can with a smile on my face. It's a given that corporations want to make money. It is a corporation's job to get their employees to do the most amount of work possible for the least amount of money possible.

What amuses me here (and in every other line of work I've been in) is how a certain amount of people think that they should be insulated from the forces of economics, supply and demand. That is how wages are determined. Hopefully, when you pay money for a product or service, you are looking to get maximum value for your money. Why should Jonathan Ornstein or any other CEO be any different?

The economy is globalizing, and businesses of all types are going to have to compete on a global level. One can either be flexible, accept change and adapt, and one can whine.

What do YOU choose to do?
