With folks like you infesting cockpits, what good is a union? Sadly you certainly aren't alone. In fact, you're just the kind of guy to get elected into a union leadership position in order to sell out the pilot group in exchange for a cushy company job. Happens all too often these days. Your kind of person is a huge part of why this profession has gone into the chitter.
May your career (and those like you) wind up resembling the bug that hits the windshield on final. Karma is a real biotch!
PS - Please don't whine about you saying "my family" and not "myself". It's really lame to try to try and use your family to cover for your personal selfishness. In fact, it's outright douche-baggery.
Your mad because I say it like it is. I'm not going to go to my grave wondering what a bunch of outspoken pilots on an Internet forum thought about me and my decisions. I've never been one to mislead people about the airline I've chosen to work at. I've always told the good, the bad, and the ugly. And don't preach to me about my "me first" attitude from your self-righteous high horse. What have you done personally to further this profession and this industry? I have done a lot more in my life that I feel is more important and that I am more proud of than flying an airplane. This is a means to an end. Please tell me how many among you who would so quickly write me off say that you actually know what hard times are? Have you ever even had to worry about where your next meal would come from? So your damn right I'm going to do what's best for me and my family short of crossing a picket line. YOU never did anything for me, nor will you ever. You want to vilify me for that attitude? Fine. I'll still sleep easy tonight knowing that my responsibilities are looked after.
