You all (pilots) need to realize you are employees. Absolutely fight for higher wages, better work rules, and refuse to give in to concessions. But realize, you are entitled to nothing. You have a J-O-B. Try running a business. It will certainly change your perspective and help you realize you are in control of your own destiny.
Today's millennial regional pilots want others to guarantee their success. They want guaranteed flows to the majors without having to interview and now some in this thread want a government mandated regional airline minimum wage.
They want all the rewards without doing any of the hard work and taking any risk to achieve their goals.
Just as they used to get the participation trophy for just being on the little league soccer team, they now want a guaranteed job at a major just for being a regional pilot and not having to interview and earn it.
