I can't even read through this whole thing.
1.) You are not special
2.) You deserve nothing
3.) It doesn't matter what you think you are worth, it doesn't matter what a truck driver or doctor makes.
Here is what is relevant.
1.) You made a choice to work at your job for whatever money they are paying you.
2.) You have the ability to try and negotiate or hold out for more, maybe or maybe not it will work.
3.) You can leave anytime and pursue a higher paying position.
4.) Start your own airline and give the pilots all the money.
5.) The laws of supply and demand are in play, who gives a sh*t about alpa.
I don't know what it is with some of you people, but this is still the USA where capitalism is our way. Many of you are preaching philosophies that smack of socialism. Hey maybe you are a Hilary voter or from Europe, I don't know, but that's not how things are done here.
You come to a contract airline such as PSA, Envoy, TSA, etc..? You get used to that $20,000 per year paycheck, you signed up for it, nobody twisted your arm. Further, many of you signed up for $200,000 of debt to get here. That's your problem not mine.
Suck it up. I'm tired of hearing your damn whining.
