Nope. I refuse to consider mgmts "low ball" offers. I have no rose colored glasses.

But if you think I am going to high - five or "boo yah!" dudes who say "I was furloughed so now I call in sick one a quarter whether I need to or not" or "I screwed up my vacation bids so I'll just call in sick instead" or "I got that captains eye disease last week: I just couldn't see coming to work" (these are real conversations from real pilots) then think again.

Then these same dudes will rant about how much more they deserve to be paid. Apparently that doesn't bother you as much as it does me.
